Pictorial Guide To This Year In Personal ID Breaches
Back when laptops containing SS #s were getting stolen every week, we mused about doing a chart like this. Then we thought, nah, NYT will do one and do it a lot better than we ever could.

Well, the SS "lost" my credit card numbers. That's the last time I join up with that ragtag outfit.
Someone should plot this against the number or persons notified that their financial data was compromised.
The hell with it. I'm changing all my passwords to "secret", leaving the signing strip of my cc's blank, and taking down my firewall. What's the point...

hmmm...i see 6 entities that impacted a hell of a lot more people than the runner-up on that 'worst company' poll. if choicepoint's silver medal was on the basis of publicity alone, it makes me wonder how many companies out there make halliburton look like model citizens, but get away with it by keeping a lower profile.
I'm a little confused, what does this have to do with Nazi tshirts at Walmart?
