Where’s my data?
I’ve been over this at least once before :
In one of the largest breaches of data security to date, CitiFinancial, the consumer finance subsidiary of Citigroup, announced yesterday that a box of computer tapes containing information on 3.9 million customers was lost by United Parcel Service last month, while in transit to a credit reporting agency.
Although this was not reported as a theft, I bet a dollar to donuts that is was.
The list of giant institutions who have lost personal data on their customers just keeps getting longer and longer. It will not stop anytime soon.
