Steal California State Employees Social Security Numbers?
Yahoo News / Associated Press - May 24, 2002
Hackers Break Into California Computers
Does it make you feel better to know that not even California Governor
Gray Davis is immune from possible identity theft? It appears that
on April 7th, hackers broke into a California state computer system
that houses the names, social security numbers, and maybe even bank
information for 260,000 state employees — including Gov. Gray
Davis and his staff. It's not clear if the hackers took anything or
have used the information to commit identity theft. The servers have
since been patched to keep this from happening again. Right.
