Monster needs to come clean

Submitted by JustJim
JustJim writes "BBC reports:

"The thieves got away with names, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of Monster.com users. The job site said that the thieves did not get any useful financial information such as bank account details in the attack."

Its about time that Monster come clean. It is disappointing that an internet icon like Monster takes a "Gee Guys, it isn't that bad" approach in responding to this breach.

All of the information released seems to infer that only job seeker information was stolen. How about employer information. Don't employers subscribe (i.e. pay) to the service? Isn't account information stored as a result? If so, has that information been compromised?

A little (ok, lets face it, a LOT) more transparency is indicated here. Instead of puff pieces, let see some real information.

What steps are you taking to lock down this information?
Are the idviduals whose information has been stolen being notified?
What steps are you taking to ensure that this doesn't happen again?"

From the article: "Unlike two or three years ago, the market is much more employee-driven," says Jon Estes, vice president at Robert Half Technology, an I.T. staffing and recruiting firm. "But employers are asking for technologists who have good business ideas and understand how what they're doing affects the bottom line.""
