The details of up to 170,000 workers and contractors linked to the company, including some workers’ addresses, were contained in a database of Shell’s global workforce." 2. http://royaldutchshellplc.com/2010/02/12/contact-details-for-170000-shell-employees-a-prize-for-hackers/ "...the company subsequently told the press, including the FT, that the database leak was not a security risk." 3. http://royaldutchshellplc.com/2010/02/12/which-shell-official-lied-about-employee-data-breach-implications/ “the leak is no more dangerous than handing out business cards” cheers, --scm _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
