Declan --
Do you have any information about the ESPN/SportZone web site store being
hacked? Or a contact? The pro-crypto folks on the Hill are quite
interested to know if 1) this site was using encryption before being hacked
and 2) what type of encryption they are using now (one of the press stories
noted that crypto was one of the security measures implemented after the
hacking).
I realize this was probably an inside job, but it's good fodder for the
Hill. Any insight you might have -- or other examples -- would be great.
Thanks in advance.
