A "very serious vulnerability" in Chicago's elections Web site made it possible for hackers to swipe Social Security numbers and the personal information of over 1.3 million voters... No confirmation at this point of any information actually being gleaned from the site.
ABC News reports that the problem has existed for more than five years.
Chicago Tribune reports election officials claim to have patched the more than 5-year-old problem.
Can you imagine how much money may have been made by hackers over the past five years who accessed this info? I mean charging just 2 cents per SS# could provide nearly $30k toward an entire year's tuition at USC.
