Consumers Data Stolen from LexisNexis
LE UI Guy writes "Reuters is currently running a story regarding LexisNexis being tapped into by identity thieves who accessed up to 32,000 customer profiles. Information hit included names, addresses, Social Security and driver's license numbers. This comes on the heels of rival ChoicePoint being breached for 145,000 profiles last month in a similar case. Better check yourself." Update: 03/10 02:40 GMT by J : ChoicePoint's name corrected (and, it may be more than 145,000, they don't know).
Anyone got a torrent of it?
I am sure glad I don't drive a lexus.

Can someone post the list?
are the worse at security on everything? Not just the OS, but everything about it. They spend 5x as much money and STILL they do not get it right.
It can't be theft if the data is still there, right?
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try.

Well of course they are not equal, you made the assignment that way.
You made the common rookie programmer error of assigning what you wanted to test.
What I think you meant to say was
ChoicePoint != CheckPoint
Though if you are communicating to us in Java you want
!ChoicePoint.equals(CheckPoint)
Hope that helps.
Surely this would (rightly) file under "false allegation"?
No, this would fall under "typo."

Ironically, the word ironically is often used incorrectly.
No shit. I had this happen the other day, buying something at an electronics store.
Cashier, while checking out: "Your email address?"
Me: "No."
Cashier: "No?"
Me: "Ok, put 'no at no dot com"
Cashier, smirking: "Done."

In perl, I just write
No chance of going wrong there.
