SC Dept of Revenue Hacked -- It Just Gets Better
« 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
http://www.fitsnews.com/2012/11/20/3-3-million-bank-account-numbers-too/

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.

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.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Hackers will play knock-hockey with this government in the times ahead.  Technological civilizations are not as strong as they think.
