Malware cited in supermarket data breach
PORTLAND, Maine - Unauthorized software that was secretly installed on servers in Hannaford Bros. Co.'s supermarkets across the Northeast and in Florida enabled the massive data breach that compromised up to 4.2 million credit and debit cards, the company said Friday.
I have never liked the idea that in order to sign up for a store discount card you have to give up bank account information. 271 stores infected. That is an inside job either by disgruntled employee or somebody doing the tech calling in to report a problem then getting a bunch information about the system should not be given out over the phone, bit.
Computer breach hits Antioch University
YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio - A computer system at Antioch University that contained personal information on about 70,000 people was breached by an unauthorized intruder three times last year, the school said Friday.
The university said there is no conclusive evidence that any personal information was stolen, but law enforcement officials are investigating.
The system contains names, Social Security numbers, academic records and payroll documents for current and former students, applicants and employees going back to 1996
In other words. Somebody will get a fresh start in life...
