I wouldnt discount their security here without some indication that the compromise was a no-brainer. They were almost certainly PCI level 1 so they probably had at least quarterly third party pen tests done. The sad truth is that one doesnt need to have bad security to get popped these days. If I had to guess, Id say they probably got phished with one of the HT o-days. Pure unadulterated conjecture of course but Occams Razor and all that.

So the hackers are the good guys here?

Over 37 million say no.

I read that they believe its an inside job, and that they think they know who hacked them, as they believe its someone who was given access at one point to the system (for them to do contract work).

They named the person (Trevor?) who was responsible for the security.


Im curious as to what the lawsuits will be.

This actually makes more sense to me than my previous theory.

Over 37 million say no.

But over 37 million spouses say yes.

Anyone that thinks that the hackers are the good guys would have made an excellent Nazi.

Over 37 million say no.

But over 37 million spouses say yes.

Ones with no prenups or want out of their marriage or already suspect something is going on.

But the others, do they really want to know?

Have to be careful with these sites.

You show up for your hot date then a few hours later you wake up in a bathtub full of ice water short a kidney.

Remember the bonus question and your answer?

I really and truly dont give a fuck if anyone watches what I do online.

I have always expected you to one day post a screed on privacy. You are obviously witness to the level of fuck ups that work in IT. Assume everything is going to get outed on the corporate side. The trend is your friend or enemy here.

The mention of PCI made me laugh. To me it seemed a good avenue for exploit.
It was some years ago but I was on the fringes of the whole TJ X mess. It surprised me to see how IT allows all kinds of shit to get hung on their network. Nobody is running hard wired controls anymore. Frankly, what I saw was that the security used to meet PCI was itself a great weak link. Access control hung on the network tied to employee data bases (employee badging). IP devices all over the joint that IT does not understand.

I started to have impure thoughts....

It was just revealing and got added to my general unease about personal information.

Why can't these/you guys meet women the old fashioned way?

 

& by "the old fashioned way" I obviously mean
