Identity Thieves Obtain 100,000 Electronic Filing PINs From IRS System (csoonline.com)

Posted by yaelk on from the identity-theft dept.

itwbennett writes: In January attackers targeted an IRS Web application in an attempt to obtain E-file PINs corresponding to 464,000 previously stolen social security numbers (SSNs) and other taxpayer data. The automated bot was blocked by the IRS after obtaining 100,000 PINs. The IRS said in a statement Tuesday that the SSNs were not stolen from the agency and that the agency would be notifying affected taxpayers.

They then send the refund to a bank account they own and run away with the money, usually several thousand dollars. This often happens without you knowing at all. When you try to submit your real tax return, the IRS bounces it because you already filed.

    APK, the things that you do or say to me (or, for that matter, what any bipolar sociopath has to say) don't affect me, other than as a source of entertainment and possibly pity. Go ahead, let's hear again how nothing that I can do will affect you, because from what I hear you're about to see the effects. Slashdot is about to speak in a loud voice that your trollish shit is not welcome. It's a long time coming, and I will have zero sympathy for you when you're gone. You contribute nothing of value to this site, regardless of what you want to believe. In the past you had the opportunity to actually form some sort of small following here, but you completely squandered that opportunity by shitting all over the site at every available opportunity. There's no one who constantly says that you're a bad programmer, your ideas are wrong, etc, everyone always talks shit about your ridiculous behavior. Trying to bitch and moan about people wanting to silence your ideas is complete bullshit, the only thing that needs silencing is your constant flood of crap that contributes nothing. You're not being persecuted like some martyr, you're being blocked for being an abuser. That's what you are, an abuser. You're not some sympathetic persecuted martyr figure, you're just a troll, and you're about to add Slashdot to the long list of technical discussion sites where you are persona non grata. Think about what that says, is it more likely that there are all of these websites out there that have it wrong, or is it more likely that you're just an asshole? What's the simplest explanation for the fact that you are banned from so many discussion sites? You had an opportunity to gain a following with the substance of your posts, but that ship has sailed. At this point you are nothing but a minor nuisance just waiting to get squished by the inevitable shoe. Good riddance, I'll admit that I'll miss the entertainment value of the absurdity of some of your insults and claims, but I'm really not going to miss you. I'll be happy to continue to contact the site owners to let them know how I believe they can improve their service by way of removing you from it. You are determined to be a pain in the ass, so don't be surprised when you're treated like one. And don't try to pull the victim card either like a little bitch, you made your bed and now you get to lie in it. And I know you understand what it means to lie. What's the first rule when dealing with a spammer?

    Adios, trollchacho.

    I like how you talk about the "risk of putting yourself out there", and then immediately follow that up 6 minutes later with a post where you act like you're someone else. Posts # 51500355 and 51500369 - 14 posts on Slashdot on Saturday morning and one of them just happened to be an anonymous supporter of yourself, and you still think that no one knows it's you. You're either a world-class hypocrite, or you are actually so bipolar that you really do think you're someone else. Maybe that's another personality shining through, I don't know. Either way, I'm done with you.
