Subject: [fw-wiz] Equifax Canada

"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?
