In the aftermath of what has been described as the worst terrorist attack in history--in which both towers of New York’s World Trade Center were razed by hijacked commercial planes--CEO Gary Bloom said all the company’s east coast support centers had been closed down for security purposes and that the company had advised all employees at its California support centrer to stay at home. --Byron Kaye, ZDNet Australia
