NY Times article on cyber security

Contractors Vie for Plum Work, Hacking for U.S. This comment (#40) is by far my favorite. The terms used are rather typical of media discussions on the topic.

I've switched my online backup service from Mozy to Carbonite. Costs and features are comparable now between the vendors and they all seem to offer file version support for up to 30 days on deleted files.
