Not likely.
This is totally off-the-cuff noise,
but I find it much more credible that there
was no "criminal" break in at Choicepoint.
This is Choicepoint pre-explaining how certain
records got into "unauthorsied" hands.
Choicepoint/Seisint is a pretty controversial
outfit, and pretty much always has been.
Just google for big-boss Hank Asher
This whole outfit smells to high heaven.
How this is germane to nanog, I'm not too sure.
