Essi, e i loro clienti, hanno scoperto come i motori di ricerca possano essere finché troppo efficaci nella scoperta di contenuti – basta che si trovi in un’area pubblica e c’è un link pubblico a esso! Peccato astroglide ha dato la colpa a Google invece di ammettere la loro responsabilità.

They, and their customers, found out how search engines can be all too effective in finding content - as long as it is in a public area and there is a public link to it! Too bad astroglide blamed Google rather than admitting the error of their ways.

According to Threat Level, the files indexed by Google contain a total of 263,822 listings, each of which included a name and mailing addresses.

Biofilm is a small company, and luckily their exposure was limited to a few names and addresses.But TJ Maxx was a large corporation. They too spent far too little in the way of network defense and monitoring and that breach they suffered and the danger of identity theft of their customers is big and very real. The TJMaxx breach may be the largest single hack attack in corporate American History. People that refuse to spend the necessary money to get security get themselves p0wn3d.
