For anyone interested, we came across a curious situation in the last week. It seems that a company by the name of Darwin Professional Underwriters took it upon themselves to "borrow" attrition.org's RSS feed and incorporate it into one of their own pages, found here: http://www.tech-404.com/rss/data_loss.aspx Darwin is a provider of commercial services for "liability insurance". Press releases have been issued, media attention has been gained, and Darwin has gathered quite a bit of press and attention regarding their "data loss calculator" in the last week. However, it should be noted that Darwin IN NO WAY contacted attrition.org about using our RSS feed for their page. In NO WAY did Darwin responnd to email contact about this situation. They are using OUR resources that we spent our own time developing and making available to the public... for their own commercial gain. They're ripping off attrition.org, and we will not let this stand. Darwin representatives, get a set of balls. Our work. Our time. You owe us. Take it down or we'll just clown you again. Oh, wait... we already did. http://www.tech-404.com/rss/data_loss.aspx Lyger (attrition.org staff, damn proud of it, and screw you, Darwin) http://attrition.org/dataloss/tech404-1.gif http://attrition.org/dataloss/tech404-2.gif _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () attrition org) http://attrition.org/dataloss Tracking more than 207 million compromised records in 620 incidents over 7 years.
