http://www.thestate.com/2012/10/26/2496396/south-carolina-taxpayers-privacy.htmlJust lovely! DoR hacked. A few details
--Secret Service detected the breach, not SC geeks
--Took 10 days to close the breach, six more days to inform the public
--387,000 credit card and debit cards exposed
--3.6 milllion social security number compromised.
--First attack occurred 2 months earlier and the state did not know of it.
And my personal favorite
Most of the data had not been encrypted, meaning the hacker would not need a key to a secret code to read the stolen data.
My second most favorite is when the state got around to hiring someone who knew what the hell they were doing they discovered they had been breached one month earlier
Un'effin' believable. <breathes deeply, focuses on a distant object, goes to a safe warm place>
Screw that . . . . I want head bouncing down the state house steps.
