Your Credit Card Hacked at Stratfor Website?

Dear Free Intelligence Report Subscriber,

As we alerted you over the weekend, an unauthorized party illegally obtained and disclosed personally identifiable information and related credit card data of some of our paying subscribers.

We deeply regret that this event has occurred, and we are working to prevent it from happening again.

Our highest concern is the impact that this has had on our members and in your confidence in us as a potential member and Free Intelligence Report subscriber.

As a result and at our expense, we have taken measures to provide our members whose credit card information may have been compromised with access to CSID, a leading provider of global identity protection and fraud detection solutions and technologies.

We have arranged to provide one year of CSID's coverage to such members at no cost.

As part of our ongoing investigation, we have also decided to delay the launching of our website until a thorough review and adjustment by outside experts can be completed.

We expect this to take approximately a week, but it might take longer – please bear with us as we recover from this unfortunate event.

In the meantime, we will not be deterred from doing what we do best: providing our members with top-notch geopolitical analysis.

Therefore, while our website is being tested we will be sending our free Geopolitical Weekly and Security Weekly to you via email as we have always done.

In the meantime, we want to hear from you about this situation and have set up a special email address at feedback@stratfor.com to get your thoughts on this event.

To say we wish this hadn't happened is a massive understatement.

As I have stated in prior emails to you, I sincerely apologize for these unfortunate events. Our investigation and coordination with law enforcement is ongoing, and we will continue to update you as more details become available.

Sincerely,

George Friedman

Buried Treasures in Bohol Philippines

Written by Joe Espiritu       Four persons died in a treasure hunting accident last week. They died for nothing. Many had lost their shirts in the venture, the propensity for Filipinos to get rich quick attribute to the treasure hunting mania. The sad part is that only the ignorant venture on the search, those in the know, being sure that nothing will come out of the effort would not think of investing money, time and effort – this time lives – in a fruitless enterprise.        There had been stories of people getting rich uncovering treasure troves in unlikely places. Most stories are false. Ancient graves of archeological and anthropological value had been desecrated by treasure hunters. They had found nothing. Those people may have struck it rich but not from some hidden riches. Contrary to what other people say, there are no buried treasures in Bohol . If there had been, they were unearthed years ago.         If one ...

Iran will start exporting gas to Iraq within the next three months, Iranian Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi said on Sunday.

Iran, which has the world's second largest natural gas reserves after Russia, is also close to signing an agreement on gas supplies to Syria via Iraq, Qasemi said. "The signing of this agreement will take place in Tehran with the participation of representatives from the three countries," the Iranian oil minister said. In the summer of 2010, Iran, Iraq and Syria signed a memora...
