From WK and InfoSec News (http://infosecnews.org):
http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/07/07/hackers-claim-survey-outfit TOP MARKET RESEARCH firm TNS Infratest/Emnid has 'lost' 41,000 private data records of its survey participants, the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) has revealed in its official organ Die Datenschleuder. According to CCC, it was a doddle for participants to read master data records and consumer profiles. The personal data was easily accessed without being checked by even the most basic security measures. All you needed to do was change the customer ID number in the browser's address bar and you could see everything.
