National media finally begins to weigh in on the stolen South Carolina tax records story

The New York Times finally has an “article” on the South Carolina Department of Revenue cyber hacking scandal.  And I use the word article loosely, as this piece seems to be mostly a rehash of the two week old story but it is at least a start.  (Links to older stories here)

If you detect a bit of frustration in my writing it is because I think this story deserves more coverage than it has received.  I don’t believe we are going to ever find out what really happened until someone applies some significant resources in this effort.  Granted there was an election and a major storm to cover but the majors have been almost completely silent on this story until now.  It always seems they  are quick to work any story that plays into the stereotype of southerners as backwards, Dukes of Hazards, Deliverance types.  But this story affects everyone.  If they can breach the tax records in South Carolina, they can breach the tax records anywhere.  Its time we started getting some answers.

Come on national media , get off your humps and get to work on this story.
