U.S. Official Job Search Site Hacked!

[pioneer]

By John Leyden

Cybercrooks who raided Monster.com's database also pilfered the personal information of an estimated 146,000 from USAJobs, the US government's official job search site. Monster Worldwide is the technology provider for the USAJOBS website, so the recent attack on Monster.com's systems also exposed the contact information of USAJobs users, it emerged on Thursday.

Hackers used malware (Infostealer-Monstres) to gain unauthorized access to the Monster.com resume database and steal the contact information of job seekers. Compromised data included the name, address, telephone number, and email address of people who registered with the job seeking service. Neither Social Security nor credit card records are thought to have benn exposed by the recent attacks on Monster.com and USAJobs.
