Acxiom Hacking Details Made Public
pgrote writes "As mentioned previously, the Acxiom consumer database company was compromised. More details have emerged including the background of the alleged hacker and the method used to gather access. It turns out he had access since December of 2002 and came in through an unsecured FTP server. The suspect was not a former employee of Acxiom as previously reported, but an employee of data mining company."

You can't rule out the possibility that he's working for Al Qaeda. Think of it: if we hang him, it's one dead hacker. If we don't, he could continue working with international terrorism and kill us all! I know which option I would choose.

Is it a plane ? Is it a bird ? NOOOOOOO !!!! It's a trojan !! Do you guys read www.theregister.co.uk ? (No I'm from Romania). How often do you read about problems in Linux ? How FAST are they fixed ? RedHat posts updates almost daily and most of them are security fixes. But Micro$oft.... NOOOOO.... their products are perfect. No flaws at all. None. Whatsoever. I wonder why do people call Outlook the best Virus Transport Protocol ever designed. BTW: Windows (aka dos) didn't get as bad as it is overnight -- it took over ten years of careful development. [for you MCSE/MCSD/MCHAMMER dude, this is a fortune cookie -- yeah, from the dreaded OS Linux).
How much ? Cause I think I could do that if I re-trained on my dot-com html coder skills, and I've been unemployed for a while.

Totally off topic and totally stupid.

He broke in through an external FTP server and did not get through their firewall. So I think Acxiom deserves a little break.
I beg to differ. Matter of fact, I think it's absurd. Completely absurd to allow someone to gain access to sensitive data outside the firewall perimeter. How could anyone be so stupid? Damn, something as simple as https or ssh/scp would've solved that problem! Acxiom does NOT deserve a break, they deserve a group spanking from their shareholders and clients!
