It scares me when you make me aware of things though. Next thing you're gonna tell me is my credit card number is in the computer.

Think of it this way, every company with 101+ people probably has a DBA who manages their oracle EBS systems which includes their icims hiring accounts; if that dude decided to say "fuck it I quit" he could probably export the job profiles and account information of thousands of people; that includes all sorts of information (SSN for applicants, CC info for customers) and he could hock that data on black hat websites for $5-10 per user.

A large database with 500,000 unique names and ID's would fetch upwards of millions on the black market if all that data was there and intact, as the identity theft racket would rake in $$$ with that information...

Granted the dude that lifted this info would probably have to go into hiding for a bit, but with a couple million, I'm sure he can relax fine in some island in the pacific no problem.

Ok, I retract my statement. You people need to stop naming your accounts after your characters. I always thought that was obvious but apparently there's a lot of people that are new to the interwebs here.

My account name is my social security number is that better?

I think you'd be surprised how many companies don't have a DBA or use oracle that are 100+ people..... or even have a real IT guy. Fuck it amazes me how many places I deal with stay in business.

But that's cool and horrifying information.

you can buy dumps online with all that info for 5 or 10 dollars for thousands of identities, I think your numbers are way off.

Oracle sucks ass. As a network person I hate it more then anything else I've ever hated. I've never seen software that shits the bed so easily with even a slight latency spike.

That's because you aren't Indian.
