This information is already going public.
I have gotten several emails from newspapers
and online websites (big names to).

The faster it is exposed the less damage people
with not the best of intentions can do. Realisticaly
the underground community probably makes up
half or more of this mailing list.

I personally am going to scan my local stores tonight
to see if I can detect this problem. I cant trust
a company with my credit card info who cant even
setup a 802.11b lan correctly. I will let everyone
know what I find.

Thanks,
Mike
