Dear readers,

U.S. defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld did what any intelligent person in his position would and should have done!

I don’t know how many of you are familiar with websites such as samspad and all the various whois sites available to anyone with a browser, but there is far too much publicly accessible information available to anyone with malicious intent that needs to be controlled by all departments GOV. and Business alike

The word convergence is never practiced and deployed enough in my opinion, from Intel to Homeland Security. It is everyone’s responsibility and moral responsibility and commitment as American Citizens (which I am not), to uphold and protect the N American Society and way of live.

From Public to Private Infrastructures and every news group posting in-between we need to keep aware that Evildoers\Terrorist like individuals are reading, snooping and recording all juicy tidbits of useful data that they may stumble upon.

I know that some companies are now posting incorrect (B\S) Information for security reasons, such as administrative contact info which is actually a good practice in my opinion in the detection and management of Social Engineering attack methods.

Kind of like IDS (INTRUSION DETECTION) at the receptionist,

Markus

InfoSec Student

Please excuse any Grammar errors,
