Orda: FDIC
There was a post earlier today (tried to find but my eye are a blur this late in the day) from a Midwestern Wavoid who said he works in the same building as an FDIC office. He asked if they had heard of Wave and they said they had even though they were not techies and that their DC office is working with Wave. Also I'm sure you have seen the prominent FDIC study link on Wave's home page.
Also per you posted article, Bank of America Corp. and Wachovia Corp were noted by the FDIC as having exposed customer data. Those two banks have been involved in numerous acquisitions and mergers the past decades and have shamelessly grown careless with our private data many of us have entrusted in them.
They are headquarted in Charlotte, NC, considered by many as the banking center of the US. I met a Wave saleperson at a stop of the Microsoft Security Summit last year, in Charlotte, and learned he lives in NC. Also IBM has a large presence as does Redhat (headquarters)(Linux) in Research Triangle Park, NC. (The Summit was a big disappointment as only 20% or so of vendors listed were present, although on a positive note Wave brochures were in the mktg. propaganda goody bag freebies distributed.)
Although as much as he probably travels outside NC to trade shows he could live anywhere I wonder if being located so close to the NC companies above is a coincidence.
