Phishing For Answers At Comcast

May 30th, 2008

I had a rough day at work today but not nearly as rough as someone else had it. I think the only people who had a worse day are mortgage lenders.

Hackers knocked Comcast.net offline late Wednesday night, preventing customers from getting to their Comcast Web mail and account records on the company’s Internet portal.

The criminals somehow got their hands on passwords used to alter domain-name registration information with Comcast’s registrar, Network Solutions, said Susan Wade, a Network Solutions spokeswoman.

How in the hell does the password for their DNS fall into the hands of hackers? Ouch. Don’t the Comcast employees know that you never, ever give anyone your password information? Well, I bet they know now.
