Every few months an incident like this happens. This time the victim is Network Solutions (a domain name, email, and Web hosting company) and 500k+ of its customers. This is very similar to another credit card heist that happened last year. Again, there was this little piece of malware that found its way onto Network Solutions' credit card system and when no one was looking, transmitted all the hundreds of thousands of credit card numbers to some unknown hacker out on the Internet.
All companies who handle customer data should have stricter network security layers and policies in place. PCI is a start, but has not prevented credit card stealing from becoming a recurring theme. The bad guys are out in the dark, a constant threat over our shoulders, waiting for a vulnerable moment from our network. To give us a better chance, we need more security in the network both at the end points and at the gateway, as well as better designed systems that are designed with network safety in mind. Last but not least, more end user education, training, and access control.
