From SlashDot this morning:

“There’s been another break-in at Monster.com. It’s surprising that there are still unencrypted passwords stored in database despite the previous hack, as is the decision to not email users — presumably so that no one will make a fuss. From PC World: ‘Monster.com user IDs and passwords were stolen, along with names, e-mail addresses, birth dates, gender, ethnicity, and in some cases, users’ states of residence. The information does not include Social Security numbers, which Monster.com said it doesn’t collect, or resumes. Monster.com posted the warning about the breach on Friday morning and does not plan to send e-mails to users about the issue, said Nikki Richardson, a Monster.com spokeswoman. The SANS Internet Storm Center also posted a note about the break-in on Friday.’”

Be careful out there, all you job seekers. You might give www.linkup.com or JOBDIG a try. LinkUp is the one site that only has jobs directly from a company’s own website. It’s the site that TechCrunch and CNET think highly of.  JobDig is our home business and site, we dominate the job listings in our markets…with always fresh, current jobs.

This Monster is getting downright dangerous.
