It is my understanding that Symantec tried to offer/bribe them with $50k to not release the information that they were hacked.

You know what seems strange to me? That the Pcanywhere source code was stolen waaay back in 2006 and it got them 6 years to admit this.:))

Pretty glad right now I don't use any apps from Symantec, there are other better alternatives to Pcanywhere that don't have source code shared all over the web.Lool.

Oh speaking of Symantec and Pcanywhere, I heard something about a new audials anywhere app, or at least I think its some sorta app, and I was wondering if it's got anything to do with Pcanywhere.

Can't seem to find any info on this and was curious if it's related in any way to Pcanywhere.
