not secure enough.

Actually, he didn’t hack its records either.  He exploited a bug in BIND.

And your evidence for that is what?  Feel free to send to

I hate to say this, But I think that Network Operators have not see

how far they could get and how long it would take for it to be
discovered.   I hope the FBI and the other Federal agencies out there
are involved with Craigslist to determine how this happened and put in
safeguards in place to help prevent this from happening again.
