More targeting and punishment for non-profit political groups.

[Rennes Templar]

Not a peep in the MSM outlets.

[babygene]

There should be a mechanism by which this sot of thing could happen accidentally. Computers that contained this sort of information should not have internet access.

[bgill]

Mistake, my aunt fanny.

[Billthedrill]

Fortunately, a check of the site's HTTP and FTP logs revealed that nobody accessed the information. We're perfectly safe. Oh, well, there was this one little item:

...but it was clear that at least one copy of the DVD ISO image (the image of the original DVD) had been transferred.

Oops. So somebody out there does have a copy. Of course, there will be a destination IP address in the logs too and I'm sure the IRS is right on top of finding out who has the entire DVD. Which naturally won't be copied and redistributed in the meantime. That would be wrong.

How many of Barack Obama’s were among them?

[AtlasStalled]

Just great. And these boneheads now are enforcing ObamaCare with access to our personal health records. Just great.

[dragnet2]

Corrupt government again...

THE IRS IS A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE!

[uncommonsense]

I was and executive for 2 "Big Data" companies. When I hired on to the 1st company, there ware sooooo many vulnerabilities that it was a miracle it wasn't profoundly compromised. Most issues got fixed, much to the chagrin of the "cowboys" who wanted to carry around private customer data on their laptops traversing the globe (not Texas cowboys - used as a slur for undisciplined hackers).

My 2nd Big-Data company, they had their partner/public API wide open to downloading ALL proprietary information. For some reason, I was the only person who realized this was a MAJOR security hole.

Based on about 30 years of deep and wide IT innovation and management - the quality of the government/public talent in IT administration is substantially lower than the private talent, which isn't saying much.

There are ever diminishing American resources who don't want to compete with foreign nationals for IT jobs (mostly Indian, then Chinese and lastly eastern block nationals - with growing Mexican and South American resources).

We're toast now - with intellectual property fleeing the country faster than the latest Hollywood movie hosted on a bitstream/torrent download site.

FairTax ping!

Replace the income tax with the FairTax and abolish the IRS!

[1010RD]

Ping me when they fire anybody at the IRS.

[Gabrial]

I am sure FedGov will tell which taxpayers are now exposed to identity thieves.

NOT.

Sue them into oblivion. It is their fault and they should be held liable.

” UNEXPECTED”

[I want the USA back]

The filthy bunch of liars can say it was an accident. How do we know it wasn’t in retaliation?
Will they pay the offended parties a million dollars each?

Then they wonder why we are cynical about the political process.

[In Another Time...]

“Mistakenly” — now that’s rich

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Well come on, those illegals need those numbers!

[A Voice]

Well at least they didn’t leave all of the state employees’, both current and past, personal information for all to see and peruse for over one year like the State of Texas DID a couple of years ago.

Can you say INCOMPETANCE? Yes, I thought you could.

Those who utilize any type of electronic transaction on a regular basis will never be fully secure and are simply victims waiting to be fleeced by some unscrupulous individual or organization.

Nothing to see here folks.... move right along.
