    The IRS said that there were 200,000 attempts to access the system from February to mid-May and at least 100,000 successful breaches.
    Haha...wow...just wow. I work for the gov't and we have a "locked down" network..yet we use a piece of software that is incredibly easy to hack. Was talking to some folks today and they were telling me how last year someone hacked it and took over the entire network after pivoting off. Not to mention this one piece of software has direct control over ALL other systems for "security" reasons.

    This is juicy and could be worth it's own topic by this evening. Right now the Sudan ties are the big story, I expect bigger later.

    Especially in tech, it's often a case of life imitating art; both the good and the bad.

    Looks like a confirmation of a Vice article from April about the DEA buying spy tools is next on the list from this leak

    WSJ, NYSE and United all had crippling computer "glitches" this morning, unclear which if any were hacks.

    Spilling source code is the best for lulz, but not good for global stability.

    7/6/15: Italian hacking group ("Hacking Team") gets 400GB of data stolen and dumped, including the source for all their tools and evidence that they've been selling them to various governments around the world.
    Morning of 7/8/15: United, NYSE, and one more company whose name I've forgotten all experience "technical difficulties." Adobe releases a critical patch based on Hacking Team's stuff, etc.
    Afternoon of 7/8/15: "Don't worry guys, none of us actually got hacked." - the companies

    Does anyone else think that investors are going to quietly freak out and cause a ton of stagnant behavior and markets will tumble?

    China's bubble popped earlier today, Greece rejected bailout terms earlier in the week, and now all of the aforementioned events. Lots of stuff going on in the past week prime for causing market instability.

    New SSL security advisory published, CVE-2015-1793:
    http://openssl.org/news/secadv_20150709.txt

    A fix is already available but this is pretty serious. The bug was only introduced in June, so the spread of this should be much more limited than Heartbleed.

    21.5 million former and current US Government employees is the final total from the breech earlier this year. Basically anyone who had a background check from 2000 on had their info stolen.

    They got me also. Fortunately I was a much more boring person 10 or so years ago, so I only have the identity theft to worry about.
