[Owasp-leaders] Request for Board Inquiry

[Christian Heinrich]

Jim,

I would like you to also watch the video and/or read the transcripts
of http://www.qutnews.com/2010/09/23/hackers-target-social-media/ and
http://www.sbs.com.au/insight/episode/index/id/30/Stolen-ID

The journalists have also identified that you are part of
https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Connections_Committee and should
therefore have the required background to deal with the media, I have
stated that I am unaware who the press contact is for OWASP and have
made them aware of "Contact OWASP Staff" listed on
https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Main_Page as the proper channel for
PR, etc
