More on Hampton, Virginia Breach

[Chris Walsh <cwalsh () cwalsh org>]

It gets "better" -- now they say many more kinds of records were  
available and had SSNs attached:

hamptonsocialsecurity.jl15,0,6210278.story?coll=dp-news-local-final

Total exposure is guesstimated at 100K records.

 From the articles it seems that the Hampton folks have little idea  
what was supposed to be available, and are trying to see how many of  
the records were accessed over the net.  Since a criminal  
investigation is under way, they also seem to have not ruled out the  
possibility that the system was maliciously set up to allow this  
access, or that they consider accessing the information they made  
available to web surfers to potentially be a crime.
