This, at least, I can agree with - I was actually trying to point out that the crack 
wasn't actually a sign their software was at fault, which was the original post in 
this thread was implying. I don't suppose we'll ever actually know who made the remote 
hosting decision, but I have a definite suspicion that somewhere, a security bod at 
NAI is saying "I told you so." If there isn't, then whoever it is wasn't doing their 
job.

Perhaps I'm biased, but I've never spoken to a security professional who liked the 
idea of remote hosting. Does anyone on this list feel otherwise?
