MediaDefender's Embarrassment Mounts

MediaDefender's woes get worse in worse in the wake of that e-mail compromise. Rather, its woes grow in number. Wired:

At least two more MediaDefender hacks have emerged since Saturday. In one, hackers obtained a copy of an internal company database identifying some of the decoy files the company has slipped onto peer-to-peer networks. In the other, intruders released a digital recording of a private phone call that appears to be a discussion between MediaDefender personnel and staff at the New York attorney general's office.

Bruce Schneier has a bit of a phone transcript that indicates the company might not have been the brightest about security.
