RAID 0 on a two-disk system isn't much of a mirror. More like an image reflected from the wrapper on a stick of gum. No mention of keeping a mirror on another system.
They suspect a former employee, but how is it possible that a former employee gained access to their system? An utter lack of security, most likely.

And just how difficult is it for a mailing list owner, being able to edit said list, to sort the list by domain, and split out the yahoo.com addresses?

Dvorak to Apple - Stop The iPhone 409
eldavojohn writes "John Dvorak is advising Apple to cease all efforts on the iPhone, citing the mobile handset business as a 'buzz saw waiting to chop up newbies.' With Apple's image as a 'hot company that can do no wrong' on the line, Dvorak warns that the extremely fad-prone marketplace for cell phones will quickly turn the 'hot' iPhone passe'. Unless the company has several new models in the pipeline to release after the original offering, he says, they're likely to fail. 'If it's smart it will call the iPhone a "reference design" and pass it to some suckers to build with someone else's marketing budget. Then it can wash its hands of any marketplace failures.'"
