Equifax Canada

["Paul D. Robertson" <paul () compuwar net>]

"For the second time in about a year, the credit reporting company Equifax
Canada Inc. has suffered a security breach that has given criminals access
to personal financial information of hundreds of Canadians.
The latest case came to Equifax Canada's attention several months ago, but
was made public only yesterday.
Criminals that breached the firewall gained access to 605 consumer files,
which contain personal information ranging from names and addresses to
type of bank loans and credit cards, payment obligations and social
insurance numbers."

605 Canadians, that's like 300 Americans, right?  ;)

Sounds like someone needs remedial INFOSEC training- sheesh 2nd time in a
year?
