Re: AS/400 on alt.hacker

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My organization?  I don't work for Kia, I just saw the message on the
newsgroup.

What I had done, though, is I went to the KIA home page (www.kia.com)
or something like that, found the e-mail address of the administrator, and
forwarded it to him.

Got a response this morning thanking me, and he told me he would be
forwarding it to someone who could do something about it.

Regards,

Jim Langston
