Prodigy Email Vulnerability Puts Millions of Accounts at Risk

Incidentally, this reminds me of one of my past employers who worked with government agencies. Turns out he forgot to set a default index on server when he took down his website. Thus, "secret" filenames became public and google indexed data dumps from government clients with a few thousand social security numbers, and basically all the information needed to very effectively steal someone's identity. (address, drivers license photocopy, family info).

I'm just glad that I wasn't responsible for such a glaring security hole (I was long gone before this happened and I reported it and it's been fixed now though)
