My major concern now is that COX is ill equipped to address threats that originate outside of it's network.... Seems like a pretty lame excuse to me. Verizon is equipped to address threats that originate outside of it's network... As is every other company that relies on computer technology. Could you imagine a credit card company telling a customer that because fraud didn't take place within the network, they're not willing to or have the capacity to investigate and then wash their hands of it????
