[governance] Security issue @ IGF / Rio - Check your bank statements

[Carlos Afonso]

Report it here?? In the list?? I guess you should suggest people direct 
their reports to the appropriate people -- yet another issue not 
pertaining to IG which might creep up here.

I will be glad to redirect any report to the local organizers (who 
obviously cannot do much except to forward them to the local 
subsidiaries of the banks or card operators involved), but I personally 
find very strange, however, that people do not contact their banks' 
branches or card operators directly -- this is the proper way to file a 
complaint.

--c.a.
