Title: SC Dept of Revenue Hacked -- It Just Gets Better
Post by: Waitone on November 20, 2012, 06:18:32 PM: History
SC DoR get hacked. Result is 3.8 million social security numbers, 400,000 credit and debit card numbers, and 650,000 business tax information stolen.

And today we hear
3.3 million bank account numbers were stolen

So far no heads bouncing down the state house steps. . . . . take that back. Head of DoR submitted his resignation. On a totally unrelated matter, rumors are floating around that the hack was an inside job.

Its a good thing my last colonoscopy is not online somewhere.

Could very well be in the datacenter of a former employer of mine. :P

Resigning should not be an option.

And if heads are going to bounce down the statehouse steps, there needs to be a functionary at the bottom who inserts them on pikes.

stay safe.
