Great! I'm glad to hear Mr. Carr is all about sharing information. I take
it to mean that we will get the full story about what happened at
Heartland first, to show that he is serious about sharing information.
Afterall, by his reasoning, if he shares this type of information with the
world, then he may help prevent another intrusion like it.

While Mr. Carr gathers his notes, he can look over at
http://datalossdb.org/ for a great place for information on previous
incidents. If only he had looked at it before..
