I figured out a way to reduce identity theft and improve security!

Every time a corporation has a significant loss of data that includes identifying data, the entire board of directors has their names, addresses, DOBs, and SSNs posted online.

I bet we'd see a really fast turnaround in data protection and privacy!

Oh, I know. I've been watching Gilbert & Sullivan's Mikado: "My object so sublime, I shall achieve in time, to let the punishment fit the crime, the punishment fit the crime!"

A lot is thieves, but more is carelessness and stupid policy. I was reading emails today of a lost thumb drive that contained police and park service personnel information, one where the police department gave a computer to a charity and didn't scrub the drive first (it contained personnel info), and the ever popular lost laptop.

At Phoenix PD we physically destroyed the drives before our computers went to surplus.
