Interesting, but I’m wondering how this will affect Joe Public… if at all.

This morning I received an email from Network Solutions about the data breach. It mentions this:

“What Information Was Involved?
Our investigation indicates that account information for current and former Network Solutions customers may have been accessed. This information includes contact details such as name, address, phone numbers, email address and information about the services that we offer to a given account holder. We encrypt credit card numbers and no credit card data was compromised as a result of this incident.”

It is amazing that Web.com and Networksolutions.com do not have two factor authentication, and that they use terrible security questions.

And you know that this is the method used to collect the data?

cheers, Paul
