Hi, Of course the question of posting hacks publicly brings up another issue: If the hacks are public, everyone knows about them and the "security" provider improves security. If the hacks are kept secret, on the other hand, only the hackers know them, the providers never improve security and increased theft can then ensue. Which is worse? Bruce Schnier says this all a ton better than I do, and with some authority. Feel free to look him up and/or check out his cryptogram newsletter if you are interested in these issues. Cheers, Cameron (an anthropologist, not a security expert)
