Re: Astroglide exposes 250k onto Net

[lyger <lyger () attrition org>]

The primary reason we chose not to list the Astroglide incident on 
Attrition's web page and database is because it appears that the only 
records exposed were customers' names and addresses.  While some may argue 
that names and addresses are "personal information" (and while the 
exposure may be embarassing to some people), for most people that 
information is publicly available through the White Pages (offline and 
online).
