Dynamite does not go BOOM. It goes BANG! Black powder, flash powder and other deflagrating compounds go BOOM. If pitt wasn't such a maroon he would understand the difference between detonation and subsonic burning of powder.

Does Pitt think he is a reporter?

An internal TurboTax investigation has found the breaches are not due to a problem with its own systems, but criminals digging up the personal information elsewhere.

Not an issue with the software just with others using it maliciously.

From the article:
"Following up on taxpayer concerns, Intuit announced that it is working with state agencies to address the problem. Intuit reached out to Palantir, a third party security expert, to make a preliminary investigation of the most recent fraud activities. The initial findings have led Intuit to believe that these instances of fraud did not result from a security breach of its systems. Instead, the company believes that the information used to file fraudulent returns was obtained from other sources outside the tax preparation process"
The fraudsters got the personal information from some other source. It is akin to someone going through your trash to get your SSN and then filing a tax return or applying for credit cards using your information. The personal information was not lifted from Turbotax, but used on Turbotax.
Rex is one stupid mother effer.

Hey, Rex, did that snark taste like Wee William's balloon knot when it was run back down your throat? :lmao:

Reading for comprehension is not a strong liberal trait.
Even less so for DUmmies. :rotf:

Yeah, the shallow end of the gene pool.

I'll put it here, too.
The fraudsters probably got peoples information from the poorly secured
healthcare.gov

Wouldn't surprise me at all. But honestly, we will never know about it unless a hacking group publicly dumps a bunch of data they mined from Heathcare.gov -

And why is that? Because Obama made it so they do not have to notify people if their information is compromised. Congress tried, but Obama refused.
