Compromised insinuates that Breakingpoint systems were breached in  
some
way.  Again, not the case.


Grammatical nitpicking. Unlike Japanese (:-) in English there is no  
"ga" to tell us whether the pronoun IT is refering to is Breakingpoint  
or AT&T; the antecedent is AT&T, the sentence subject is  
Breakingpoint. Flip a coin.
