Trojan Compromises Oregon Taxpayers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the but-the-internet-is-for-porn dept.

Blair writes "An employee at the Oregon Department of Revenue downloaded a trojan file from a porn site, possibly compromising up to 2,200 taxpayers. An information technology security officer with the state said, 'the released data likely involved names, addresses or Social Security numbers, or possibly in some cases all three.' I guess some of our public workers are having too much fun after all."

      Hey, maybe I can get government funding for creating an approved porn list of sites that government employees can surf without getting a drive-by smack ...

      .. or at least a research grant from the Department of Homeland Security ... after all, if we don't have safe pr0n, the terr'rists have won!

      By announcing that you wanted a +5 Funny, you screwed your chances.

      It's just lucky this happened in Oregon, rather than Virgina.

      Now where's my +5, huh?

      If people from Troy, Oregon are called Trojans, how come people from Tampa, Florida aren't called Tampons?
