Trojan Compromises Oregon Taxpayers

Blair writes "An employee at the Oregon Department of Revenue downloaded a trojan file from a porn site, possibly compromising up to 2,200 taxpayers. An information technology security officer with the state said, 'the released data likely involved names, addresses or Social Security numbers, or possibly in some cases all three.' I guess some of our public workers are having too much fun after all."

Cue trojan condom jokes, where's my +5 funny?

Only 2000 people paying tax in Oregon?

No wonder my taxes this year were so high. Hey, guys, I can't pay for Trimet on my own!

Hey, maybe I can get government funding for creating an approved porn list of sites that government employees can surf without getting a drive-by smack ...

.. or at least a research grant from the Department of Homeland Security ... after all, if we don't have safe pr0n, the terr'rists have won!

Good Idea

[TadZimas]

That's why I haven't paid my taxes in years.
Ironically, my CAPTCHA was "Protects".

By announcing that you wanted a +5 Funny, you screwed your chances.

Though on the bright side, porn site customers finally have a way to get screwed over the internet!

It's fitting I suppose...

[mojotooth]

Only figures... Since most of the money I was supposed to pay my taxes with, I used to buy porn anyway.

I can't wait to see what Larry Flint has to say about this.

Wow...

I knew Oregon had a lot of wood, but this is rediculous!

[afaik_ianal]

It's just lucky this happened in Oregon, rather than Virgina.

Now where's my +5, huh?

So...

[getwhipped]

Is that a link to the trojan or the porn site?

[kfg]

If people from Troy, Oregon are called Trojans, how come people from Tampa, Florida aren't called Tampons?

Here goes...

• Somebody's gonna get a ribbing for that cock-up!
• Obviously a problem with the firewall's LaTeX filter...

The internet is for porn

Well, at least the employee knows what the internet is for:
