Invitation to Hackers

Anytime a database that size is publicized... hackers all gang up to see who can crack it first.

And EVERY public challange to hackers has proven that the hackers can hack into anything.

That said... they're only asking for trouble!!!

I expect to see an article about the hack within the next few weeks.

Jigsaw is Great!

Take a look at Jigsaw's Fair Information Statement...

I hope this helps illustrate Jigsaw ethical standards on how Jigsaw obtains data. Business to Business data and the business cards companies print for their employees is indented to be distributed with the objective to do business. It becomes public property in effect. Everyone that has a business card printed has already ?opted in? by virtue of the business card being printed. Jigsaw simply compiles this information.

Austin Ventures, El Dorado Ventures and Norwest Venture Partners are backing Jigsaw with millions. They would not back a unethical company.
