I wanted to follow up and thank the list for their assistance in getting a =
contact with Browards' IT management team. There were several people who h=
elped me find the right email address to notify.
Side note: I received a number of cynical emails opining on the globally sl=
oppy nature of school district IT departments, and suggesting that I not ev=
en bother to tell them about a security issue. I'd like to provide this ca=
se as evidence to the contrary. Once I'd sent an email to the right place,=
the call came within 30 minutes. The person I spoke with was grateful (as=
any of us would be) for the notification, and seemed intent on addressing =
the issue.
So, just a data point! :) Back to our operational (repeat) discussion on t=
he security characteristics of NAT, and how many angels can dance on a pinh=
ead.
