I’m looking at the news account again.

It’s deja vu all over again. It wasn’t an inner sanctum issue, thank the merciful Lord. It was a website security problem.

5 years ago I took a crash course in website security at Xerox. It’s trickier than it looks. Secure pages can still have nonsecure content, providing an avenue for leakage of individual secure data outside of the proper context (as to the computer of a waiting hacker). The result will NOT be a spill of half of America’s data because many never used the tainted website(s).

Did you happen to do anything online that has to do with applying for credit?
