Some Places, Word Is More Deadly Than Metasploit
Worse Than Failure -- Security by Letterhead:
John O'Rourke wrote in to tell us that as a part of his job, he often has to help clients transfer domain names. He's had to jump through all kinds of crazy hoops to transfer domain names in the past; including just about everything except literally jumping through hoops. After faxing in a transfer request and receiving a rejection fax an hour later, he knew he was in for a fight.
John called the number on the rejection letter to sort things out.
John: Yes, I'm calling to find out why request number 48931258 to transfer somedomain.com was rejected.
ISP: Oh, it was rejected because the request wasn't submitted on company letterhead.
Comedy ensues.
