It's kind of funny but who really wants to read about some unknown persons mental patients medical history?
And how do files 'accidentally' find their way onto the net? VPN? Should they really take a chance on that..

Re: okay?
its nuts to think people will nicely delete files, if you got a random fax from a wrong number im sure one would keep it if it had anything juicy.

Re: Oops!
Yes, "Winny" the Japanese file sharing proggie of choice occasionally sees "viruses" that result in unintended sharing of the contents of user's PCs.
A number of large companies (via employees taking work home) have been hit by this.

Yes this is a bit off topic, but still.
There have been so many recent incidents with laptops (that were taken off company property for whatever reason) containing personal information being stolen.
The business involved should be required to pay for every single person whos data was stolen to get things like a credit report, new credit cards, bank accounts. Also the company whe lost the data should have to pay back any money or credit card charges made by the data theifs.
Really there is no good reason for people to be taking this type of data home with them. I know, I know, "so they can work from home". They will have to work late or come in on the weekend if they can't get teir job done during normal working hours. |

This goes for data stored in a laptop or a file cabnet.
It's not the media, its the information stored on it that is important. |

That's unreasonable. The pay for everything deal.
If you rented a car using company funds and it got stolen from you and the thief totaled it, would YOU want to pay the $10,000-$50,000 to replace it just because you happened to have possession of the car when it was stolen?
I'm not justifying the action. I'm stating that there is a certain level of reasonable expectation that the person has taken sufficient measures to secure the item(s) in question. You could lock your car, put on a CLUB, enable an alarm and install a kill switch, and a determined thief could STILL take your car. Does that automatically fault you? Should you be responsible because the thief was diligent?
If a company can demonstrate that it took best measures to prevent the loss of the information by ensuring all security updates were applied and appropriate encryption and authentication processes are in place, they shouldn't have to "foot the bill" because some determined thief got their hands on the information. |
