FAA Confirms Hack Attack-Downplay?? 2002-05-07
Anon

It seems that each of the entities that TDD hit have spent more time downplaying the sensitivity of the information accessed instead of addressing the actual issue at hand, which is insecurity of the breached systems.

On a side note...Most companies have to pay for this type of security testing and their getting it for free. Depending how you look at things, TDD is saving taxpayers money by performing this service for free.
