Government hit by rash of data breaches
By HOPE YEN, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON -
The government agency charged with fighting identity theft said
Thursday it had lost two government laptops containing sensitive
personal data, the latest in a series of breaches encompassing
millions of people.
The Federal Trade Commission said it would provide free credit
monitoring for 110 people targeted for investigation whose names,
addresses, Social Security numbers -- and in some instances, financial
account numbers -- were taken from an FTC attorney's locked car.
The car theft occurred about 10 days ago and managers were immediately
notified.

Hmmm
Veterans Data stolen?
ID data stolen?
This could be a sneaky way to be spying on people...
Sorry, but this is what, the fifth incident in 3 months? 2 could be
considered coincidence, but FIVE???
