Capital One breach!

She, like many others doing illegal things, couldn't resist telling someone how clever she was so she got caught. Her black hat does are over.

Was that the one where a employee brought a laptop home, and then it was stolen? I always felt that it must have been SOP vs. a isolated incident. Hard to believe one employee snuck a laptop home and that was the one that happened to be stolen. It was the first time I felt threatened getting that notice. Probably a real bumpy bus ride with all the people being thrown underneath it.

Now it just seems to be a way of life.


For added peace of mind, its comforting to know that Capital One breach was due to a 'misconfigured firewall' and it took a outside tip to let them know anything was wrong.



Heck, the government wont even let you file with paper anymore. No escape.
