Hello everyone, This is Christopher Budd. I wanted to let you know we’ve just posted a couple of Security Advisories related to important updates. We often use Security Advisories to let you know when we’re aware of security incidents that can affect customers.

Hello everyone, This is Christopher Budd. As Andrew noted in his posting yesterday, on Thursday we had our Spring 2007 BlueHat Security Briefings.
