Got a Letter today from Aim Surplus about them getting hacked.
They got my DL info and my C&R info, According the Aim that is all that was Breached.

2 ways of looking at this.

1. Be pissed off at the Hackers who are a problem.

or

2. Be pissed off at Aim for not securing there servers better in an age where hackers are prevalent.

I am of the second mind on this one.

I think computer hackers should have their fingers nails ripped off... Then a few hours later, have their hands smashed with a hammer. :)

With everything electronic now hacking is a fact. It's up to businesses to protect against it just like it was up to banks to protect against robbery when actual money existed.

I got that same letter in the mail yesterday. My credit has been frozen since the state of Georgia put all that information on every registered republican out into the world last year. At least AIM got hacked. The state of Georgia published the same information and more.

If Equifax can get hacked, AIM doesn't stand a chance. It's just a fact of life in the information age.

Thing is though AIM promises to keep your information private while Equifax promises to sell it to anyone with money (well i guess someone go it for free that one time :)
