</div>So this brings on a new perspectives to the discussion.<br>
<br>
1. The great connectivity that we have has not only exposed us to<br>
external threats but also to Internal threats.<br>
<br>
2. It also clears the fact that it doesnt matter where your website is<br>
hosted since this website is hosted in the US just like the Toyota one.<br>
<br>
3. The attack is through an SQL injection which IMHO exposes the depth<br>
of our web-developers.<br>
<br>
Point 3 above leads me to a conclusion that the CxO's are making the<br>
necessary investments. But it looks like the ball is dropped elsewhere.<br>
<br>
my 2 cents!.<br>
