FTC Gives Away Employee Information to Scottsdale Identity Thieves
Legal:Identity-Theft Article GuideBy: Lance Winslow
Can you believe that the Federal Trade Commission allowed two lap tops filled with personal information to be stolen out of a car in Scottsdale AZ, while the employees were enjoying the Sun and Fun near the golf courses and five star resorts? Indeed two lap tops were stolen and on them were 110 employees personal information, who work for the Federal Trade Commission. But why is this even news?
Well, because the Federal Trade Commission is the friggin agency, which is suppose to protect consumers from identity theft in the first place, Dah? What is wrong with this picture, I can see the headlines now; Government incompetent film at 11:00 PM or FTC Gives Away Employee Information to Scottsdale Identity Thieves. I mean this is serious incompetence indeed. Of course the Federal Agency [FTC] is still in complete denial over the incident as they stated in news reports that; “The stolen laptops were password protected and the personal information was a very small part of several thousand files contained in one of the laptops.”
Personal information come again? What? Yes indeed; “Variously, names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and in some instances, financial account numbers.” Oh really and you do not find this a little alarming since this is the agency which is suppose to protect the American People from Identity Theft? I sure as heck do? Consider all this in 2006.
