Personally, I thought you guys did well last night. Raised some awareness. This seems to be the goal in general. I think L0pht did make gains in this effort.
They were clear, concise and stayed well away from the impressions that all hackers are script kiddie punks.
Also they had severl shots of a "convention" with punks breaking what looked like old erma terminals etc. They cut to a sshot of 10 or so hooking up laptops and If you looked closely several were running Win95. Pretty 'leet eh??
But I was only refering to the White House site. My kids go there often to click links and get little photos and form letters from the president and bill. Cool for kids, but useless for adults.
I think the "crackers" are out in force already on e-commerce. We just dont hear that much about it. If cracker X has expolit X and is seamlessly getting in and around some retailer with access to card info, product shipping and the revenue stream in general, he/she would never deface a page and claim "j00 i5 0wn3d" or some crap like that. They will keep it their little secret.
And the retailer will most often never even report it if the have a breech, too much bad press.
I beleive that in the March, April time frame we will start hearing a lot about how bad e-commerce got ripped off during the 1999 Christmas season. Then by the 2000 Christmas ruch it will all be a distant memory.
"Having determined the correct thresholds, doctors can then download a set of exercise programs into a portable controller for the patient to take home."
Imagine having grandma hooked up to the net. Makes the whole Borg thing look sort of possible. You could get your webcam repointed effortlessly.

Good Job!
i spoted mumbo jumbo about the FCC and interstate laws but for the most part I really didn't know.
Why isn't page defacement classified as breaking and entering?

The comms are run out of Ft. Richie in Cumberland MD, and not even remotely connected to the Web site.
Also, the Web site is just brochureware, there is no gateway to anything important.
