The Network uses the all inclusive term contact data as way of referring to address, telephone numbers and other information that facilitates people getting in touch with each other for business purposes. Printed materials and websites having contact data that misleads need to be corrected. Printed materials that show an obsolete address or location map that can't be corrected should be tossed. Correcting outdated contact data online means doing more than changing the company website. Alert relocation leaders make sure that all sources of the contact data for their operations and personnel are updated, especially directories and buyers guides.

Before that time the phrase was a reference only to the fact that online enterprises were in a constant state of change.

After 911 the phrase took on new meaning. Terrorism gave impetus to the definition of cyberthug. Incidentally, the definition was put together after reading Matthew J. Littleton's 1995 paper: Information Age Terrorism: Toward CyberterrordashBob Glover
