Hi there,

some recommendations:

i) don't mention the name Kinko's on the FW-WIZ email list any more. If
Kinko's executive management were to find out about the nature of your
discussion there, they would be horrified and would probably be very
unimpressed with the potential negative press and posssibility of letting
the world know how easy it is to scam Kinko's systems. This could put you in
a difficult spot.
ii) DO NOT approach IT systems administrators/managers first. Instead, get
your managers approval to make some phone calls so that you find out who to
approach in security management.
iii) muster all of the diplomatic skills you can to put forward a NON
hostile approach
iv) put down on ONE page a brief of your security concerns, the risks and
the fixes. Emphasize the RISK in DOLLAR terms. That is, the company could be
sued, the company could be exposed to financial losses X, etc. Do not put
down too many. Four at most. If the response is positive, perhaps you can
leverage a promotion into IT security.

Always be positive and good luck,

Mike H
