Hey, I'm a researcher at a magazine in DC and was wondering if anyone could help me with some information... I'm trying to find out if anyone knows of any cases in which iPods have been used to steal company information (or for any economic crime really). I've read a couple of articles that cite cases, but I'm looking for a bit more detail. Also, if anyone could give me the contact information for Derrick Donnelly, the current CTO of BlackBag Technologies (former head of Information Security at Apple), or of Paul Carratu, the President of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, I would really appreciate it!!! Thanks.

I believe Donnelly's addy is macbuddy@pacbell.net but I'm not sure about Paul's.

Oh great. Can you at least change "iPod" to "Hard drive based digital audio player" AS any player can do that!
Oh but wait you won't, you're just interested in pushing papers, and taking down whoever happens to be in the spotlight.

Thanks very much turkeysix! I managed to track down Carratu's too... and don't worry enjoilax - I will be sure to mention that it's not just iPods - I love mine as much as the next person!

There was some 'hacking' article about how someone walked into an Apple store and copied Office for OS X onto the iPod, but I forgot the URL :(

Thanks.. Also, does anyone know how many countries in total sell iPods? I'm having trouble getting in touch with Apple iPod people!
