Sounds like another security risk
Some people keep those handwritten list of names, phone
numbers, and email addresses taped to their computers so the
thousands of Windows viruses running around can't get to them.

I'm forced to use Windows at work, but I keep my address list
tucked away safely in Palm Desktop. Now that's security through
obscurity. Why bother to write a virus to target it when all those
copies of Outlook and Outlook Express are ripe for the hacking.

This new "innovation" sounds like a great way for someone to
target your most important contacts.
