Most interesting. Another brick in the wall or link in the chain or whatever. I am not shocked and wish they would name names, one computer talking to another makes it seems like no humans were involved, just those wily boxes chatting with one another.

Thanks Storm!

This bit of news is curious as well.

"Facebook was in talks with top hospitals and other medical groups as recently as last month about a proposal to share data about the social networks of their most vulnerable patients.

The idea was to build profiles of people that included their medical conditions, information that health systems have, as well as social and economic factors gleaned from Facebook."

LOL. Looks like some lazy IT guys never applied the MS security patches!

Fire them, hire me!
