I wonder how many companies out there are saying "Rebel, isn't that the company that wanted to do a merger with us?
"Boy, I'm glad that deal didn't go through."

I personally don't mind email going to my personal inbox. But when people send spam to our support email address, or even our abuse email address, it affects our ability to assist our actual customers, which costs us money.
Especially since sending an email to our support email address creates an incident in our customer service program that must be tracked and closed.
Even if it were as simple as pressing delete, the 1 second that it takes adds up, and costs our company money. It's not like we can hire some one to work in the email room, like we can in the mail room, and write off their wages as an expense.
I bet that a lot of companies don't do nightly backups, rotate the tapes, verify the tapes, maintain the tapes, store them off site, and have up to date security procedures to protect their data. How many of them haven't even updated to the latest version of BIND?
Of course, if you're not going to do these things, you might as well practice what you're going to do in case of a disaster. But where as our company will be kicking on generators, and restoring redundant servers at a second facility, most companies will be throwing the dice to see if they will be going out of business as the result of a disaster.
I think that you should actually perform, at least once a year, your emergency recovery procedures, just to see if they work.
We believe that it is possible for the average innocent person to have information about a security hole or breach in a computer system.
The biggest reason why the average person doesn't pass this valuable information along to the administrator of the system is fear of persecution.
It is a valid fear.
As far as the account, I would thank them for allowing you to bid, and make sure that they know how to get in touch with the person who was assigned as their contact should they require your services at a later date.
As far as the vulnerabilities, I would let them know anonymously if the problem remains for more than a few days after the other company has finished.
