We all read about and surprisingly didn't discuss on a board the theft of AOL's customer database. That's caused serious problems for them.

In today's local newspaper, it seems that a 20yo local man was arrested for making interstate threats against a person in Virginia. The young man who in the past had ran for local constable and sheriff impersonated a Jackson MS police officer and was given the name and address that belonged to an AOL member. He then sent multiple threatening e-mails to the person.

There was no comment from AOL.

Gee, as if the training wheels weren?t bad enough. The AOL people have to worry about being impersonated as well??!?

Thank goodness it's not overpriced because then there would be no reason to use AOL at all!!!

AOL's customer data base being stored in a rusty file cabinet with no lock under a big neon sign that says "Steal me"
