Got a letter today from Administaff ....

And my information, as well as those of several thousand others, has been lost on an unencrypted hard drive.
Of course, this was against their policy, and while they don't think the information was the target, they are very sorry.
Oh, and they're sporting for a year's worth of credit protection with Equifax.
That is all.

We got 3 years free Equifax credit protection when that happened to us.

Thank you. I'm thinking the laptop's user is still employed as well.

On a side note, Administaff is a sucky name for a business. That is all.

Executive scandal or something ?!??!!?!?!?!?!?!?! Why the fk do you need SSNs and Credit Card Numbers on the go?

If ANY of it was regarding medical coverage or insurance or anything like that, the HIPAA act could do them a proper reaming. Maybe then they'd use more common sense about making such information so portable.
