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."

    Go here for Identity Theft insurance
    Personally I'll risk going without ID Shield, but when information is leaked about your own private stuff, you should get a lawyer.

    Why is it that when you believe something it's an opinion, but when I believe something it's a manifesto?

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

    Actually, the word cretan does originate from the people of Crete. Even in the Bible, the apostle Paul mentions in the book of Titus that the Cretans have a bad repuation even among their own people. Titus 1:1-16
