Computer hackers gained access to the California state government's computer systems in April and sensitive financial and personal information about as many as 265,000 state workers, officials said Friday.

The electronic assault on payroll and other records was discovered by the Sacramento Valley Hi Tech Task Force, which determined that none of the information has been used illegally so far.

Do I sense a them here? Can California State Government do ANYTHING right under Davis?

By the way, why did it take so long for them to release this news?

Meant to say... "Do I sense a recurring theme here?"

Duh! As a state worker I guess I should be worried...

Does this have anything to do with the fancy schmancy new Oracle software they purchased?

Thanks, Dan, what I'm interested in, is when will they reveal that the data collected on us has been hacked into. If this has been done, everyone's record at the state level is at risk.

Of course if you are a petty or big fascist rat criminal working for Davis and the state of Kali, this data might lead to some real embarrassment about how much money you have gotten from companies that bought out Herr Davis. Did these companies spread their generosity to Herr Davis's under crooks?

Makes you wonder why public servants are so big on privacy for themselves but want everything on everyone else out there. Might be nice to publish the stuff and show them that privacy is very important.

You have posted one of the wonders of our world: Makes you wonder why public servants are so big on privacy for themselves but want everything on everyone else out there. Might be nice to publish the stuff and show them that privacy is very important.

They will do everything to protect the privacy of criminals, child abusers, sex offenders and of course their own privacy.

Da$$hole, as a US senator, is refusing to release his income tax reports. If he did, the income that his wife gets as a lobbyist because he is the Rat leader, would become very obvious. Yet, he will gladly sign bills that encourage the IRS to expose our taxes and threaten any non profit that dares to be on the conservative side with exposure of their contributions.

This is nothing! Wait until any of that information garnished is disseminated or used.

Maybe that is why it is being reported now? Something is about to be released and the "How was this found out?" question is being presented early.
Purely speculation on my part.
