Your password has been changed, and the company email server will send you an
email to verify it. It's likely that the password hasn't been changed recently. Why did

What is the primary defense against many DoS attacks, and where is it implemented?
If your information is stored in a database, be sure to keep track of it. Assuming you have access to many databases, how long will it take to get a copy of your data records, and how frequently will you be able to print them? How concerned are you about your personal information being compromised while you're online?
