Is ISOC really cash-strapped to be crowdsourcing $20k from its members and beyond( see http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/don-t-let-spam-restrain-socio-economic-development )? Could it be the ISOC membership database has been compromised? What else has been compromised besides the DB if indeed the DB has been compromised? Should members be worried their Personal Identifiable Information(PII) might be out there somewhere in the hands of the wrong people or this is really a credible project from ISOC?
