If you have a New York City company, you may even have drunks urinating on your external walls. It's a dirty world on the Internet. If your door is locked, and someone finds that it exists, that's part of the real world. If you are going to do business in the real world, pay for good locks. If someone is trying to break the locks, call the police. Otherwise, just hose off your exterior walls every so often and call it a normal cost of business.

Stealth scans? Remember: don't install a firewall and walk away. Keep it up to date with the vendor.

Let's just spread the word far and wide for no one to do business with Quova. In other words, tell your CEO that this company is doing bad business - because they will approach a CEO, not a tech. If they die of attrition and lack of business, this will all be over.
