Monster.com warns job seekers of breach

Job site Monster.com acknowledged a breach of its user database late Friday, warning that online intruders made off with an unspecified number of job seekers' names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, log-in names and passwords.

The Web site, run by New York, NY-based Monster Worldwide, gave scant information about the breach, except that the intrusion did not compromise any Social Security numbers or personal financial details, which the company does not generally collect. The breach also affected Monster.com's government client, USAJobs.com, which also posted a notice on Friday.
