Personal data of up to 2,200 Oregon taxpayers' electronic files may have been compromised by an ex-employee's unauthorized use of the computer according to the Oregon Department of Revenue on Tuesday.
The accident apparently occurred when an employee downloaded a contaminated file from a porn site containing a Trojan horse that may have sent taxpayer information back to the source when the computer was turned on. Said Amy McLaughlin, an Information Technology Security Officer with the State of Oregon.
" The department determined on May 15 that the computer was being improperly used and on May 23 that some data may have been captured and sent out.", said McLachlan "
is it just me, or has there been a lot of sloppiness with our personal information this year?

I see that people are TOO overloaded with work and take it home to keep from losing their jobs. These businesses need to hire more people and get rid of the need for overtime or home work. Either that or make the internet a very SAFE place. Don't see that happening. I do see someone losing their job for downloading porn at work.
I love porn, and this is giving porn a bad name. We need to end this ASAP.
