The 1.3 million individuals whose data, including financial information, was stolen from Monster’s database may be larger than initially reported.

During the investigation regarding the theft, it was discovered that the website had been previously hacked. The exact number is still unknown, but could reportedly be in the millions. Monster has indicated that users should assume their information has been taken. As this wasn’t an isolated incident, the illegal activity has been impossible to pinpoint. Monster has lost between 200 and 300 job seekers and some employers’ accounts due to the issue.

Like I said. Lot of blame there.
