Firewalls?

Exactly what were they suppose to do, as well as prevent???

Well, aunts and uncles, here we go again…

A server holding customer information for Capital One was hacked.

The Virginia-based bank with a popular credit card business, announced yesterday that a female hacker had accessed about 100 million !!! credit card applications, and investigators say thousands of Social Security and bank account numbers were also taken.

On-line banking, anyone…?!!?

The suspect, 33, was arrested by the FBI, on a charge of computer fraud and abuse.

She formerly worked for Amazon Web Services, which hosted the Capital One database that was breached.

The hacker was NOT shy about her work.

She is listed as the organizer of a group on Meetup, a social network, called Seattle Warez Kiddies, described as a gathering for “anybody with an appreciation for distributed systems, programming, hacking, cracking.”

Hey, Mom and Dad, I’d like you to meet my hacking and cracking girl friend…

According to court papers and Capital One, she stole 140,000 Social Security numbers and 80,000 bank account numbers in the breach!

When is the government, in addition to the business community, going to realize that cyber crime is NOT a joke, and that ALL of Planet Earth is now digitized???!

Guess what…your and my personal information is NOT safe!

FULL STOP…
