Hackers Bite The Monster

January 28th, 2009

It looks like Monster finally decided to tell everyone what was going on.

Monster Worldwide Inc, the popular global website for job hunters, said Tuesday that hackers have broken into its databases and stolen personal data.

Monster spokeswoman Nikki Richardson confirmed that sites around the world had been targeted, but said some regions, notably Asia Pacific and eastern Europe, were spared.

She said Monster was working with the “appropriate law enforcement agencies” but declined to say in which countries. In the United States, where the company is based, “an investigation is in progress.”

Monster operates in 36 countries with millions of users, including 4.5 million in Britain.

If you’re the one that stole my data, can you let me know if I have had any offers? Ha! Just kidding.
