Bowker Investigating Breach of ISBN Site - Publishers Weekly **

Panzer was shaken from his nap on the bed by crying and screaming coming from the Catosphere. Hopping into the Panzermobile our brave kitty followed  all the noise to the Publishers Weekly site. There he found a post about a break-in at the Bowker site.

Bad humans will steal anything.
According to the post by Jim Milliot, RR Bowker announced their myidentifiers.com site had been breached and  code added to their checkout page. This code enables unauthorized charges to credit cards used at the site. The site is used by authors and publishers to purchase ISBNs for their books. Authors cannot use this site to purchase ISBNs until further notice; instead there are links to other avenues for purchase. There are links in the post to the Bowker post and site.

Panzer says, "There are bad guys everywhere in the Catosphere."

Note: This is a medium length post. Bring a cup of tea for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow the links, bring a muffin too.

To read the post tootle over to Bowker


** This is an important post for authors and publishers. Today's Panzerism will be here later.
