If you are outraged by what has happened to Matt Bandy, the people listed below are in the best position to do something about the Internet environment which caused his plight. We hope that you'll insist or request that Internet-leading companies become much more a part of the solution instead of being a big part of the problem.

If you are with an organization that can speak out on this subject, or provide any kind of support to this campaign, please use our Contact Us form in addition to whatever you can do to influence the people listed below.

Contact	Comments	What You Can Do
Microsoft Corporation c/o Waggener Edstrom Worldwide Email: rrt@waggeneredstrom.com	Articles you will find elsewhere on this site clearly establish that if it wasn't for the many vulnerabilities in Microsoft software, it would have been impossible to compromise The Bandy's computers or make your computer vulnerable to being controlled without your knowledge.	We have given you the media contacts for each organization because by the time this website goes “live” this is already a media relations issue – plus, candidly, these are the easiest addresses to find for any corporation, Bill Gates isn't too quick to give his out. Write to these companies insisting that they get much more involved in protecting all of us and particularly our children. Demand that these companies and other Internet-leading companies develop methods of protecting us that do not require us, as average computer users, to be technical experts.
AOL/Time Warner (Parent of AOL) Keith Cocozza Time Warner Email: keith.cocozza@timewarner.com     or Erin Gifford AOL (703) 265-7285 Email: egifford01@aol.com	The Bandys subscribed to AOL, whose browser Matt Bandy was using, specifically because their advertising promised that they could protect children – something that obviously was not true unless you were technically knowledgeable enough to configure your computer system properly, which most of us aren't.
Yahoo Corporate Communications Joanna Stevens Email: joanna@yahoo-inc.com     or Kelly Delaney Email: kellyd@yahoo-inc.com	Yahoo made it easier for a minor to easily access pornography than for the same minor to buy cigarettes. Yahoo also reports the IP addresses from which child pornography is uploaded without telling the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), the agency that reported the Bandy case to the Phoenix police, without telling NCMEC what Yahoo unquestionably knows – that the computer at any IP address could easily be a “zombie” and the computer owners innocent. NCMEC is not a computer company, it wouldn't necessarily know this. Even many police departments (like in Phoenix) may not know this. But Yahoo must know this and with knowledge comes a higher level of responsibility.
Symantec Corporation Melissa Martin Executive Thought Leadership, Executive Communications melissa_martin@symantec.com Jenna Dee Office of the CTO and Symantec Press jenna_dee@symantec.com	Symantec is the publisher of Norton Antivirus software, which totally failed the Bandys and appeared to be updating and functioning normally when, in fact, it had been compromised.	Write to the two individuals listed — they'll get the word to CEO John Thompson and others.
