Dee, I believe that this issue came up just at roll over. I'd have to search the threads but it was probably posted here. It's incredible that the problem has been hanging fire for so long. How can they guarantee that it's not already compromised unless it's simply remained inactive. If I remember correctly local data was being routed through to the central site. Correct me if this is wrong. Thanks for the posting. mike

Thanks for your input Mike.

I didn't come to this site until the day before rollover, so I'm not sure about any past threads. Maybe somebody has the info.
