RE: [emergency] EDXL & Pass Problems

Elysa,
I recommend we notify OASIS that this situation exists, as they will
need to review the process of posting teleconference and pass code
information, or at least issue an advisory.

I have not heard from our teleconference host at this time.

Regards,

I think we should consider the pass on the conference call permanently
compromised.

The problem is that when someone posts it to the mailing list google
indexes it. Hence anyone with a browser can do the following:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=877+passcode&btnG=Search

If you search for our passcode on google we are the first hit. I haven't
listed the URL or code here because obviously this post is going to
itself be indexed.

Also, strictly speaking, these guys are not hackers. :-0

Cheers
Kon
