IRS says thieves stole tax information from Americans The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) said thieves used an online service provided by the agency to get access to information from more than 100,000 taxpayers, The Wall Street Journal and the Associated Press reported Tuesday. The IRS said thieves accessed a system called "Get Transcript" and the service has been temporarily shut down. The agency said thieves cleared a security screen that required knowledge about the taxpayer, including Social Security numbers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am a taxpayer to IRS and California Tax Board. Social Security numbers is the most important information for American citizens. When we apply loan, buy a property, apply a job or credit card, medical and criminal record, ...... are all based on S.S. numbers. Once this information fell into perpetrator's hands will create a chaos. How can IRS neglect to get more secure computer security? Honesty is the best policy. |

I heard from TV the same, from Russia. Last time (few months ago) Russia also hacked our computers. Honesty is the best policy.
