More Stolen Personal Information…
By DanB | June 20, 2006
The Associate Press is reporting a laptop stolen from someones home that contained 13,000 Social Security numbers and other information of workers in Washington D.C.:
Laptop With D.C. Workers’ Data Stolen
This is becoming a recurring them. A laptop stolen from an employees home. I see several problems here. First why are these being stolen from the homes? Somebody must know these people and that they have these laptops. Second why aren’t these laptops encrypted? How hard is it? At the very least the sensitive data should be encrypted. It simply isn’t that hard to do.
