So the immediate problem has been “solved” – someone at Meteora has suffered the consequences, the file server has been locked down, etc. But, of course, it will happen again. Only the next time, it will be a SQL file emailed to the wrong person, or stored on a USB drive that’s lost or a laptop that’s stolen. When are people going to recognize that you protect the data from the get go, and keep it protected all the time? It is being done through encryption and anti-propagation technology by Fortressware (www.fortressw.com).

This “oops” moment is exactly why many funds are leaving their existing homegrown systems and relying on Angelsoft. (www.angelsoft.net)

When you don’t have a full dedicated staff working on this all day long, its bound to happen. VC funds are flocking to Angelsoft for the protection we provide.

And the added benefit is that funds get to spend less time worrying about technology and more time working on deals.

My ride home gave me time to reflect on my impulse to learn more about our future via an obvious inadvertent leak of confidential information. I think this was a mistake. If I were one of the entrepreneurs who’s work was leaked, I would not want this information further shared. Therefore, I would encourage those of you who did manage to mine this information to do the right thing by not passing it along. This was an inadvertent, yet inevitable, mistake of our digital age and I would rather be on the side of helping to minimize the damage to our fellow entrepreneurs than compound this breach. My apologies for previously suggesting otherwise.
