My name is Michelle Delio. I am a reporter for Wired News, investigating alleged security issues in Scriptlogic's network management application.

To my knowledge Scriptlogic is aware of the security issues in question, which have been published in a white paper by Scriptlogic competitor company AutoProf. The issues are also being investigated by CERT (incident report investigation numbers: VU#813737/VU#609137/VU#231705) and CIAC.

I was also told that Scriptlogic has brought a lawsuit against AutoProf for making information about these issues available on the AutoProf website.

I need to speak with someone at ScriptLogic on the security vulnerabilities as outlined here http://autoprof.com/pdf/PM_Scriptlogic_Comparison.pdf and the law suit. Please contact me by email, or on my direct line 212-662-8337 or on my cell phone 917-881-2248.

Please note: I've sent a copy of this e-mail twice (10/22 at 3:15 PM ET and 10/23 2:17 PM ET), with no reply as yet. I have also attempted to reach PR at Scriptlogic by phone, also with no reply as yet. I need to hear from you by tomorrow noon ET or I will assume Scriptlogic has chosen not to comment.

Best,

Michelle Delio
