Re: 196,000 Hewlett-Packard Employees Hit By Data Breach After Fidelity Loses Laptop
Update: Fidelity explains why it put 200,000 employee records on a laptop that was later lost:
Quote:"Fidelity indicates that the data was imported onto a laptop in order to support discussions for a meeting at HP, during which Fidelity demonstrated a new software product they believed would assist HP in addressing some administrative issues related to the HP retirement plans," HP told its staff yesterday. "It was not necessary for the discussions or the demonstration that the data be transmitted in this way, and HP was not informed ahead of time that this would occur. HP views this as a very serious problem." full article: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/03/24/...ty_laptop/ |
