Best Buy warned this week that 4,000 customers of a store in West Palm Beach may have had their credit card information stolen when they made their purchases.
Also in Florida, the Attorney General Bill McCollum urged people to monitor their credit statements and said up to 21,000 state residents may have been affected by a data breach at Wyndham Hotels last year.
Wyndham said in a frequently asked questions statement that it noticed unusual activity on one of its servers during a routine administrative review in September and discovered that data had been stolen in July and August by an attacker who penetrated the computer systems of one of the Wyndham hotels.
The University of Florida this week said someone had penetrated the school's computer network, putting the data of 97,000 users at risk, according to the Sun-Sentinel.
The travel reservations and expense reimbursement Web site, Govtrip.com, used by numerous agencies and operated by defense contractor Northrop Grumman, was found to be redirecting visitors to a malicious Web site last week, according to NetworkWorld.

OMG it's time to fork over some money to get my "free" credit report and make sure the h4xors weren't using my internets to steal my credits.
That's what I thought at first until I found out that the same companies that want your money to monitor your credit are also hiring hackers to do high profile intrusions.
