Quote:Financial services companies appear to have it in for their technology customers with Fidelity Investments adding to a spate of laptop thefts.

BP joins Sun Microsystems, Cisco and IBM in this not so exclusive club.

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."

The sheer stupidity of all the corporate IT directors who allow sensitive data to be placed on laptops  amazes me.  :Smile

Ernst & Young Loses Another Laptop Data of 243,000 Hotels.com Customers Breached
Ernst & Young is apparently seeking entry into the Guiness Book of World Records for Most Laptops Lost in one Year.  The boinktards are in charge at E&Y's IT department it would seem.  :Smile

Quote:Ernst & Young's laptop loss unit continues to be one of the company's more productive divisions. We learn this week that the accounting firm lost a system containing data on 243,000 Hotels.com customers. Hotels.com joins the likes of Sun Microsystems, IBM, Cisco, BP and Nokia, which have all had their employees' data exposed by Ernst & Young, as revealed here in a series of exclusive stories...

Major media outlets have so far ignored the Ernst & Young laptop incidents...
