Threat Report

摘要

St. Louis Parking Company announced that custom-er credit and debit card informa-tion was compromised. Customers who used its public parking lot at Union Station between Oct. 6 and Oct. 31 may have been impacted. The affected server was identified and isolated to avoid any additional data from being compromised. It seemed that Ontario government websites were hacked, but in actuality the third-party domain routing service that routes traffic to the government's site was compromised. No personal information or any government data was compromised. TD Bank agreed to pay a $625,000 settle-ment in the aftermath of a March 2012 data breach that occurred when two unencrypted backup tapes went missing during a courier run between its offices in Haverhill and Springfield, Mass. The breach impacted more than a quarter of a million consumers across the country, including more than 90,000 in Massachusetts. Government and academic websites in Mexico were taken down or defaced, or were redirecting visitors to another webpage. The attacks were reportedly carried out by members of Anonymous protesting how the government handled the abduction of 43 students.
