I really wish the media accounts would stop referring to the exploit that took place on the IRS website as “hacking”. At least according to the accounts the site wasn’t hacked.

My suspicion is that the functionality in question was inherently insecure and the culprits figured that out.
OT: This story is frightening.

Also OT:
Let’s contemplate the possibility of WWIII starting over fucking SOCCER. That would be dumber than the War for Jenkin’s Ear.
OT: More on the Chicago bond rating: “Bond Girl” on Chicago and the Quality of Credit Analysis in the Municipal Bond Market
For me, it is a confirmation that “the fundamentals” are a load of bullshit, and Wall Street is nothing but a hustle.
Chicago and Illinois may be a little screwed up, but I would take it over Omaha, Nebraska any day (or six months). It makes white bread seem exciting.
Since we are doing OT, be careful what you wish for:

Do police use PR-24’s anymore?
