PSA: NCIX DATA Breach

So welp, time to watch my credit for next while.


So 17 years of NCIX’s business information is currently in the wild waiting for someone to pick up and abuse. I’d say this is even worse than what happened with Newegg recently.

For now what I would recommend doing is waiting and see if anything else comes of it.
I would recommend you check what passwords were used for that site and immediately changing it that email password combination on other sites.

This affects both Canada and US.

Another story on this:

Here’s what’s scary:

Richmond RCMP wants nothing to do with it directly. They pushed me to Canadian Anti Fraud Centre and said they’d get involved if the case is referred.

UPDATE Logged this with the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre. They were confused as to why the RCMP didn’t take action on my initial report as CAFC isn’t an investigating agency.

UPDATE:

RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) to investigate the incident afterall.

Oh wow, RIP all employees who don’t have a credit freeze.
