VNU leaks security hack....

Congratulations to Computing’s security guru and all round nice guy, Dan Thomas, who has just landed a brand spanking new job. Dan, an ex-tech PR, will soon be the Dow Jones’ telecoms correspondent, stepping into the shoes of the lovely (albeit Australian) Nic Fildes.

So for Dan it’s ‘hello’ to earlier hours, more wonga and increased street cred, as well as a sad goodbye to Broadwick Street and those tasty freelance pieces in the FT.

Dan’s new role became available after Nic left Dow Jones to be the telco guy at The Independent.
