Hackers "proof file"

Replace ( dot )... It's an obscure site so be forewarned!

Thanks madp and peet.

There is a legal listserv for law/technology issues. (I think anyone can join)

A lot of the discussions are more armchair quarterbacking , like with Stuxnet and Flame, but the posts are usually pretty current.

These were both new.
