#1 Leaving a Windows/IIS server exposed for 'a few days' is not exactly what you call playing good defense.

#3 We piled up additional defense and tripwires, to hold us until the hardware firewall went online last week. None of these attacks got close to any customer data, which is kept on a separate server (at another location, there are actually three physically very separate servers running StrategyPage.)

Makes a good story. If true why tell, if a lie tell more. To wit don't talk about structure or changes, don't talk about "duels" jeebus. Keep it tight, and keep it very, very quiet.
