Most Canadians have heard of the security breech that occurred  
at the LCBO (Liquor Control Board Ontario) a few days ago.

There was pathetic interview on CBC radio with the "expert" who  
basically said "it happened because it's easy - anyone can do  
it." And his solution was "use PayPal".

   :(

The guy was simply brushing off any responsibilty with LCBO.

When will "experts" fess up and suggest that it could have very  
well been some idiot employee who clicked on a malicious link  
and triggered the problem.

However.. all is not lost:

"The in-store shopping experience is unaffected, the LCBO  
confirmed."
