The U.K. Inland Revenue (IR) shut down its Internet tax self-assessment service on Monday because of security breaches, the tax department said on Friday.
"Several people were using the self assessment online service over the weekend when they noticed the details of other filers and reported the problem to us. As a result, we temporarily shut down the system on Monday night and are now working around the clock to get to the bottom of the problem," an IR spokesman said.
The IR declined to give details of the personal data revealed, or how many people had confidential information made public. The government department was also unable to estimate how long it will take to repair the problem and get the service back online.

Anti-virus firm F-Secure has placed one of their systems on the Slapper worm's peer to peer network, enabling them to monitor the number of OpenSSL servers infected. The data they've colleced thus far indicates that it is spreading fairly rapidly: as of this morning, over 11249 systems were on the worm's P2P network, compared to 5987 less than a day ago. While that's nowhere near the rate Code Red or Nimda spread, it's a good start, and a focused denial of service attack from the entire network of infected servers could be extremely effective.
