UAE Bank Suffers Massive Data Breach (softpedia.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Two weeks ago, Qatar's National Bank suffered a massive data breach at the hands of Turkish hackers. That data included details about Qatar's royal family and Al Jazeera reporters...
Now it appears that the same hacker group has dumped data from a UAE bank. The data appears to be the same data stolen by a hacker last year, who tried to blackmail the bank for $3 million. An analysis of the data can be found here.

Only the reports come dribbling out little by little to make it look like it's under control. Newsflash: It isn't

Please mod all this fucker's posts to -1. He spams this shit in just about every fucking article. He's been doing this for months, yet his bullshit rarely gets modded down. He's far worse than the "simple question" troll that seems to be gone. Please silence this asshole with moderation.
Wow, looks like we got a Trump voter in the house. Kill and torture anybody who does something I disagree with. If you seriously want to murder people for stealing money, data, a candy bar from the 7-11 then you are fucked in the head.

Exactly how i feel about bankers.

Where are mod points when you need them ???
Too bad you forgot lawyers, insurance companies, and other varmint.
Votez ecolo : Chiez dans l'urne !
We're not talking about a candy bar from the 7-11 here, but the personal data and financial information of large batches of people. Strangle them with their own intestines.
No, it's not. Read the summary again. I don't blame you for not getting it. I had to read it twice, too.

And telemarketers!
There are three kinds of falsehood: the first is a 'fib,' the second is a downright lie, and the third is statistics.
I think the real issue is that the data was probably not much more difficult to acquire than pocketing a candy bar at the 7-11 and that's not really the hackers' fault. Sure, punish them but those that were responsible for the lax security should not escape reprimand for their negligence as so often seems to be the case when these things happen.
Uhm... you have to post from a logged in account to undo moderation.
Normally, I'd say, yes, punish those responsible for lax security.
But, I'm a security geek. I can't count the times where security measures proposed got shot down by manglement, even the ones that were near-zero cost. Or when senior managers and corporate officers demanded admin/root access.
Because, the people who implemented will get punished, while the people who tied their hands will walk unharmed (and likely get bonuses. . . )

Punish those responsible for lax security. It's not that hard to figure it out, especially if the implementers or other subordinates take the time to create the paper trail that will point to the decision maker who failed to take recommended action. Yes, that opens up a whole can of worms but accountability has to start somewhere, and that somewhere is the boardroom. I can see a day in the not to distant future when regulated (SOX, HIPAA, etc.) organizations require such documentation, e.g. some decision maker's signature on a document authorizing or rejecting a security related change. I don't look forward to that day, but I can clearly see the need.
do nothing.
