north jersey: the most terrible region of the world. south jersey tried to secede from north jersey in the 70s--we should try again! everything that's wrong with NJ is because of north jersey!
"If we get caught, we're not going to white-collar resort prison. No, no, no. We're going to federal POUND ME IN THE ASS prison. "I hope thats where they end up...
The Feds will f**k this up the way they f**ked up the Shadowcrew case. What a bunch of bafoons. Wonder how they actually we're able to put 2 and 2 together to catch 'em. The only reason this was probably disclosed is because of SB1386 in CA. On another note, Wells Fargo had 3 "lapses" in security in year...that last one I know about was a laptop that contained 300K records of mortgage and school loan customers. Way to go WF. Don't ever ever bank there. Worst corporate security I've ever experienced from a large financial company.
Chompy and Icefitz are both dead on here. The government around here has become increasingly pro capitalisim and economy, almost at the expense of Joe Sixpack; so attention seems to be allocated according to your share of the GNP. I have no data, but after reading slashdot and digg, that's what it looks like. I'd be happy to be wrong about that.As for the neglegence: go straight to the software vendor, even though their EULA probably says that they don't even promise to have a usable program on the CD. There are well-published business rules for data like this, and common sense dictates that you don't keep data like that hanging around - much less for something that you don't even need. The merchant wouldn't have bought it if they weren't sold something as advertised, so the bastards at Initech (or wherever) need to be held accountable - and need to stop watching Superman movies.
