Yeah, I like how the article says "Regan isn't the first accused spy with computer expertise." Uh, yeah, this guy had a whole lot of computer expertise, didn't he.
Sure... except that's the same place.

But speaking of that, does anyone know much about those sites? You are asked for your address, previous address, mother's maiden name, birthdate, ss#, full name - basically all the information anyone would need to screw you completely. Of course it is reasonable that they would need that so they know it is you, but is there any reason to feel secure in giving all that info out?
Not that I can think of.
