I (don't really) hate to be that guy, but there's no such thing as a "terrabyte". "Terabyte, yes".

Also, who is McBroom? He's not introduced prior to his quoted statement.

Tee hee. Here I am criticizing your editing and I don't seem to know where quotation marks should start and end. Oops.

I wanted to ask the same question. Who is McBroom? From the context, I guess some spokesperson from Spyfone.

You're in the business of securing highly sensitive customer data and you don't password your "backend servers". People should be fired....or shutdown, sounds like it's a company ran by a very small group. Either a worker violated policy by not passwording the servers or this company is so small it has no policy in place.
