Massive IEEE data breach: Log, passwords, activities, oh my!
http://j.mp/Qw4qef (IEEE Log)
"Due to several undoubtedly grave mistakes, the ieee.org account
username and plaintext password of around 100,000 IEEE members were
publicly available on the IEEE FTP server for at least one month.
Furthermore, all the actions these users performed on the ieee.org
website were also available. Separately, spectrum.ieee.org visitor
activity is also publicly available."
