salutatory reminder

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) data center security
Thankfully, fatal attacks such as that on Srikanth Murthy are relatively rare. But almost three years after the murder, the name of Hewlett-Packard GlobalSoft is still being associated with the case—and that association looks like it will continue for some years. With call centers already the focus of security concerns around keeping data safe, the Srikanth Murthy case is a {salutatory reminder} that it's also important to keep safe the people who work with that data.
Srikanth Murthy案在提醒人们?

我赞同Frank的观点!这里应该是typo。salutary reminder的用法比比皆是。
Frank Wang Oct 22, 2008:
Yurek,谢谢你的“salutary reminder"。呵呵。我想不会的,这样的话,这里就不好理解了,而且也查证不到。尚未求证这两种写法中,是否一种为美式,一种为英式,或有一种写法有误,但是意思应该是这样的了。

三年前的事儿,而且很罕见
