Maybe they are one of the vendors on this list and they can see the results of their poor security choices?

I would encourage anyone experiencing this same issue to have your application owners do the following:

call global support, hit 0, request to speak to a support manager, that you are not happy with the response you are 
receiving from support.  It'll get escalated.

When I did this, they claimed that few people had been experiencing issues.  Feel free to cite Holy Cross, though were 
small potatoes compared to some of you.

We are considering a new solution for time management as a result of this.  If a company is this lax about security in 
2012...

Maybe we could collectively lean on Kronos?  They suggested this to us as well, and it's completely unacceptable 
behavior (IMHO) for a company whose product deals with this type of information to have such a  casual attitude towards 
security.
