TD-Ameritrade is TD-Ameri-suck
Friday, the web industry’s second largest online broker and trading firm, TD Ameritrade, reported a security breach in its server. What was stolen? TD Ameritrade claims basic contact information, including demographics as well as e-mail addresses were hacked away from their “secure” servers. A.K.A- prepare for more SPAM mail thanks to the wonderful twits at TD Ameritrade!
After a little bit of research, you might be a little annoyed to find out how this problem came to be. “The data on Ameritrade’s servers may have been vulnerable for an extended period of time dating back at least to last October, according to the lawsuit filed by lawyer Scott A. Kamber. The company said Friday the problem had recently been fixed.” Last October?! Are they kidding me?! Shit, I think I might as well flush my money down the toliet; this way every now and then when it backs up, I feel like I’m getting something back!
