Major Data Breach at Monster.com Exposes 1.3 Million Personal Records

By Randall Udelman, Esq.

ADVERTISEMENTS

This past week, Monster.com disclosed that thieves hacked into and stole confidential information about several hundred thousand job seekers posted in 1.3 million records.

According to a Fox news report,

The information, which included first and last names, e-mail and home addresses and phone numbers, was then used to send "phishing" e-mails to members, apparently from Monster.com, encouraging them to download a tool known as "Monster Job Seeker."

The tool was in fact a malicious program known as a "Trojan," as in Trojan horse, which encrypted files on the victims' machines, making them inaccessible to the computer owner.
