Ars Technica reports that the database for the Internet job search site, Monster.com has been hacked. Though they say that only resumes were stolen (so no SSNs), it's still a problem because the data on people's resumes can be used for
spear-phishing.
Something they forgot to mention is something I learned though other sources. USAJOBs, the site used by the government to post jobs and such, is run with Monster technology. Therefore, the hack affects both sites.
Be especially aware of phishing attempts in the near future should you use either of these sites.
