Dear Mr. Richard Clark,

Do you realize that,
this site is unguarded and open to anyone
who would like to modify your personal data,
even if it is "only" for 48 hours at most,
as it claims?
That is the point.
All of the rest are redundant.

Sincerely yours,

Hello,

Well that is news, yes.

Perhaps you should write them (Buckmaster) to suggest that they track
the IP of the persons responsible for making those changes. This is a
trivial, technical modification to their server software (I've written
such software for Web servers - probably no more than 5 lines of code
and a database call). Then ask them for that IP number so that you
can register formal complaints against that individual. There are any
number of simple and effective methods to prevent what you describe,
nothing is technically difficult nor impossible. 48 Hours is not
defensible with today's attention growing against identity theft.
