Network Solutions Suffers Massive Data Breach

dasButcher writes "Network Solutions, the domain registration and hosting service company, suffered a massive security breach that lasted three months and exposed tens of thousands of credit card numbers of its customers and of the businesses that use its hosting and online payment processing service. The company is just beginning the victim notification process. 'There is no information on how the code was planted on the sites. While examination of the code shows that it had the ability to ship data off to a third party, and Network Solutions believes that it did just that, the exact code is not available for public review. There is also no public information as to where the data believed to be stolen was sent.'"

Re:Big companies

I registered my domains with a small registrar once upon a time. A few years later, they became bankrupt, and I was left scrambling to transfer my domains to an established, well-known registrar.
Lesson: this is exactly why you don't go with small companies.
