The Register, a British technology news and opinion website, recently published an article reporting a security vendor, Jacques Erasmus of Prevx, had located a server in China that stored FTP login credentials for a number of major companies, including Monster. These credentials were apparently stolen from PC's that had been infected with a computer virus. Monster's incident response process was activated immediately. Monster's IT Security Team has investigated this report and believes there is no security impact, and no compromise of Monster's systems. In addition to reviewing internal security logs, Monster spoke to Mr. Erasmus, and determined that the pair of credentials he recovered are not valid and are related to accounts that were closed in excess of 18 months ago as part of a security review. Monster will stay in touch with Mr. Erasmus and continue to monitor the situation. Finally, the security issue explained above is completely unrelated to the site outage which occurred on Friday morning. Friday's outage was caused by a technical issue which was identified and quickly corrected.
