Topic: State of Indiana Website Hacked | |
---|---|
Its hard to believe that someone could actually access the database used
by the State of Indiana to get information about Certified Nurse Aides, Qualified Medication Aides, or Home Health Aides. This person accessed my full name, address, date of birth, aide certification/registration number, and Social Security number. You would think that the government would protect all of this information, it should be kept safe and the last thing I should have to do is worry about someone getting this information. This goes to show you that no website is really safe!! |

yep... they tired to get my accts once but y bank caught it right away..
i would put a hold on your credit right away... if you haven't already.. |

Thats scary. Whats worse is I saw on the news that someone accessed
banking info online and emptied her dead husbands account of insurance money left to their son. Can u imagine? |
|
|
|
I changed my banking card numbers already! So I should be safe there!

Unsure,
You are so right! The disturbing thing is, before California passed a law requiring the reporting of data breaches, it may have been common for companies to mis-handled your personal, private information and -not tell anyone about it-. Check this out: http://www.privacyrights.org/ar/ChronDataBreaches.htm Does your state require notification of security breaches? |

I got a letter from the Governor on Saturday stating all of this
happened. Then all of a sudden it was all over the news, tonight is when I found out about the credit cards |
|
|
|
also ask you cell phone carrier if they sell your info. alot of them
do.. |
|
|
|
I wonder if they do? I have lots of people calling me and asking me to
buy things~~I don't know how they get my number!!! I just got a new cell number in October and all of a sudden all of these people start calling me, its crazy |
|
|
|
yea there is alot of stuff that companies are doing with our
inforation.. and it is perfectly legal because it says it inn the contract with the little letters, that nobody reads.. or can because of the print size.. If people keep calling you just ask to be removed fro their list, by law they have but if you don't say it they will keep calling. |

OH I have told them to take me off of their lists, but other people keep
calling me. Actually my cell phone guy told me that he didn't think they sold any information to companies. My son was having lots of people call him while he was in classes, so we just changed his number. I did tell my cell guy that if he did "sell" the information, don't be selling the new number!! Is nothing private any more? |
