"Equifax laptop with employee data stolen"

If a credit agency cant protect its data, then I wonder who can.

From the article:

"...it would be almost impossible for the thief to decipher the information because it was streamed together."

I feel sooo much better knowing these geniuses used this high security protection instead of something weak like GPG, PGP, Truecrypt, etc.

Already banks and the US government (VA) have lost credit data.
I am expecting the inevitable IRA/SSA leak to be reported.

Wait a sec - in this case, the "victims" are those who profit by selling
labor to the very credit bureau that puts us all at risk from id theft and
profits from doing so.

This one's a cause for celebration, folks, not anguish.

About 90% of these reports have been stolen laptops. Laptop theft is
very common. Employees load huge credit/employee databases on
these to work outside the office, then lose their laptops.
