From the AOL theft article: "The revelations come as AOL and other Internet providers have ramped up their efforts to track down the purveyors of spam, which has grown into a maddening scourge that costs consumers and businesses billions of dollars a year."Interesting. An insider at a network operator steals a copy of some interesting operational data and sells it to a 3rd party with an interest in doing nasty things with said data. And if Homeland Security really does require all outages to be reported to a clearing house where only network operations insiders can get access to it, then what? Will someone sell this to a terrorist organization? Better to leave all this information semi-public as it is now so that we all know it is NOT acceptable to build insecure infrastructure or to leave infrastructure in an insecure state. Fear of a terrorist attack is a much stronger motive for doing the right thing than a government order to file secret reports to a secret bureaucratic agency. --Michael Dillon
