mdt - great read, more war stories regarding just how at risk we are with confidential data at so many different vendors.
I was thinking the other day that trusted computing, turning on TPMs en masse, is coming of age. Not unlike how I used to considered life insurance. When I was in my twenties it was a sucker's bet, in my thirties and newly married, a pretty good idea, in my forties with a mortgage, a house full of kids and two car notes a necessity. Now I would never leave the house without it.
Perhaps IT guys are coming of age. They are hearing the same stories, certainly some have been canned as a result of a breach.
Let's all keep the war stories circulating.
Ciao!
