    "For the second time in about a year, the credit reporting company
    Equifax Canada Inc. has suffered a security breach that has given
    criminals access to personal financial information of hundreds of
    Canadians.
    The latest case came to Equifax Canada's attention several months ago,
    but was made public only yesterday.
    Criminals that breached the firewall gained access to 605 consumer
    files, which contain personal information ranging from names and
    addresses to type of bank loans and credit cards, payment obligations
    and social insurance numbers."

    605 Canadians, that's like 300 Americans, right? ;)

    Sounds like someone needs remedial INFOSEC training- sheesh 2nd time in
    a year?
