VI. VENDOR RESPONSE

The vendor (Wachovia Bank) was notified via their customer service
phone number on June 25.  We were transferred to "web support".  The
person answering asked us to FAX the details to her and we did so,
also on June 25.  We explained that we were reporting a severe
security problem on their web site.

Severe?  All that seems to be leaked is a person's Name/Address/SSN
number and some other details.  While this is too much info to  
leak, I'd
hardly say it's severe.   That same info can be easily found in  
people's
mailboxes weekdays between noon and 4pm.


Yeah, but that doesn't scale as well.
