I wrote a <a href="http://www.carbonite.com/blog/post/2008/05/Security-and-Online-Backup.aspx" rel="nofollow">blog commenting on this attempted Man-In-The-Middle attack</a> back in May and I was happy to report that Carbonite WAS NOT one of the companies that was vulnerable to the attack. Only Carbonite and Mozy were unable to be compromised. Carbonite did not send any data, but instead displayed an error message that did not let the hackers at Heise into our system. Since your inaccurate blog posting threatens the reputation of our business, would you please correct the factual errors in your story? I’d be happy to answer any questions you have on this topic. Please feel free to contact me at david.friend(at)carbonite.com. Sincerely, David Friend CEO, Carbonite, Inc. Gary,
