‘Spam Nation’ Publisher Discloses Card Breach
In the interests of full disclosure: Sourcebooks, the company that on Nov. 18 is publishing my upcoming book about organized cybercrime, disclosed last week that a breach of its Web site shopping cart software may have exposed customer credit card and personal information.
Fortunately, this breach does not affect readers who have pre-ordered Spam Nation through the retailers I’ve been recommending — Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Politics & Prose. I mention this breach mainly to get out in front of it, and because of the irony and timing of this unfortunate incident.
