Courtesy PogoWasRight.org http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/mld/ledgerenquirer/news/local/15519104.htm Personal information on more than 3,200 subscribers of a magazine published by Nikon Inc. was available on a Web site before the breach was discovered, the imaging company said Thursday. Details including names, addresses and credit card numbers for 3,235 people could be seen over a nine-hour period on a Web site for Nikon World magazine, but only nine new subscribers gained access to the information, the company said. Workers at an Alabama camera store told the Montgomery Advertiser they discovered the problem Wednesday morning as one of them tried to subscribe to the magazine, which is published quarterly. "That just can't happen. With ID theft, with all the theft of personal data, you just can't make mistake like this," Michael Nimmer, retail manager at Capitol Filmworks, told the newspaper. "Customers will leave you and go to other places."
