Refreshing

We use Gradwell for our VoIP telephone service. The following was posted to their blog today about their hosting service - The Gradwell Blog » Blog Archive » Customer FTP and Website Security

OK fair enough the vulnerability shouldn't have been there, but I think it's quite refreshing that they post about what happened and the result so openly on their site.

It's good to talk about these things I think.

Yes, some honesty is a good policy in business. This type of report gives you confidence in those people that they are not going to pull the wool over your eyes in the future. We could use a whole lot more of businesses with this open and honest attitude.

I think this is great - you can't beat a company being honest and holding their hands up. They have also reported it in a good way - what happened, how we monitored it, what we've done to stop it, etc.

Honesty is the best policy. . . Don't get much of that in capitalistic society these days
