Pentagon Reveals Cyber Breach of Travel Records (apnews.com)
The Pentagon on Friday said there has been a cyber breach of Defense Department travel records that compromised the personal information and credit card data of U.S. military and civilian personnel. From a report: According to a U.S. official familiar with the matter, the breach could have affected as many as 30,000 workers, but that number may grow as the investigation continues. The breach could have happened some months ago but was only recently discovered. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the breach is under investigation, said that no classified information was compromised. According to a Pentagon statement, a department cyber team informed leaders about the breach on Oct. 4. Lt. Col. Joseph Buccino, a Pentagon spokesman, said the department is still gathering information on the size and scope of the hack and who did it. "It's important to understand that this was a breach of a single commercial vendor that provided service to a very small percentage of the total population" of Defense Department personnel, said Buccino.
...if they had back door encryption keys that gave them access to all our accounts, online transactions, personal information...
and then this breach happened, giving all that to criminals.
French toast, my little snowflakes
Brace yourselves for JEDI-size breaches!
As a traveler registered in their system, I have received no notification of this breach. Not exactly a happy camper at this point. On the down-side, both my Passport numbers are recorded in the system, my emergency contacts list, and my frequent flyer numbers. On the up-side, the only credit card stored in the system is my Government Credit Card.
Even though sitting on mountains of data inevitably leads to breaches.
They'll still claim "a hack" when it was really just criminal negligence, as it always is.
It's almost as if bad guys have become emboldened to attack the US. I wonder why that could be?
You are welcome on my lawn.
.... but this is the same government that says we should have backdoors on all civilian encryption schemes and they'd keep those perfectly safe. Right. I'm sure nothing bad could happen from that.
And the circle of life continues to spin, occasionally wobbling on its axis thanks to the weighty presence of dumb.

* Now, if you "follow the money" (being taken out of your hands by NUMEROUS FORMS of "wealth transfer")?
WE ALL KNOW WHAT GROUP RUNS THEM - get rid of THEM too (but we've tried to no avail as VAMPIRES DO NOT FEED ON OTHER VAMPIRES).

P.S.=> This'll ALL change & HOPEFULLY Trump makes good on getting RID of the ANYTHING BUT FEDERAL ILLEGAL RESERVE CENTRAL BANKS (we've done our BEST economically MINUS them, & they were put in place by a MINORITY of GOV'T. (illegal & done while rest of gov't. was on vacation during Wilson's tenure) + ILLEGAL by Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution the U.S. Congress is the one that is supposed to have the authority to âoecoin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measuresâ. So why is the Federal Reserve doing it? KICK THEIR ASSES OUT! Lincoln avoided them via the "greenback" & iirc? Things were righted almost instantly - Jackson did nearly the same, same result - history & its RESULTS speaks FOR ITSELF... apk
HaHa!
cyber cyber cyber
So gay!!!!
False story from liberal media. Again. And then liberal wonder why most regular americans like us consider media 100% enemy of this nation.
So, in toto, does the internet bring more benefits than problems?
Despite the best efforts of the Traitor administration to drown itself in a prison bathtub... spoiler alert, it's actually a combination toilet-sink... Mueller will see you now.
See you in FEDERAL PRISON, lol! Bring your son FAGGOT JUNIOR LOL
You're arguing with an idiot. They truly believe that their iPhone is secure, because it's made in China, sanctified by the benevolence of the Ghost of Steve Jobs, and that only evil governments ever have a reason to get "private" data.
Just in case you forgot you were dealing with a government agency.
They called it a "Cyber Breach". I don't think I need to say more.
You watch, there will be absolutely no consequences to whomever was in charge of that shit.
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
Another day, another news item about someone's security getting breached. I'm beginning to wonder if we don't all need to just break out the old zip-zap machines, the good ol' knuckle-busters of old, and get rid of all this electronic bullshit, and go back to the fucking 1970s. I miss my C64... sure it was slow as shit and using a 2400 baud modem sucked, but we didn't know different.
Hell... I'm even beginning to miss bell-bottoms. I miss natural perky tits in tight little sweaters and long straight hair on girls not covered in ridiculous makeup and tattoos... all our great rock and jazz and soul musicians were still alive... and today they're mostly all dead, all the great bands have broken up, all our shit's getting broken into, the world's going to fucking pieces... anyone got a time machine handy? Set course for 1969 and engage. (I'll need a year or two to re-acclimate first.)
(For a list of grievances, we could just play back the second half of "We Didn't Start the Fire," really.) -sigh-
Our reign has gone on long enough. Indeed. Summon the meteors.
