Good morning - This came out in the news this morning. Below are a few "snippets" from the article just to peak your interest. Sounds as though "You Got Mail!" is taking on a whole new meaning...........Should be "You Got Mail, but We Got Your Personal Information!". I am sure we could all come up with a funny one for this AOL blunder but at the end of the day this is a very serious issue that hopefully gets addressed and corrected. I am not sure if any AOL users know about this or if they would fully understand the ramifications of this security breach?
"Officials arrested an America Online (AOL) employee for allegedly stealing 92 million members' screen names, which were later sold to spammers." >From there, he "began assembling a complete list of AOL's customer account screen names and related zip codes, credit card types (but no credit card numbers), and telephone numbers of AOL customers," authorities said in a statement. AOL keeps credit card numbers in a separate storage area. The spammers used the lists to market "herbal penile enlargement pills," the complaint alleges.
