A recent Associated Press (AP) story provides a grim report card on computer security performance. Nearly a score of federal agencies lost personal information either through shoddy security practices or theft/hacking. You’ll recall the widely-reported case of the stolen Veteran Affairs laptop containing data on nearly 27 million people.
Treasury owns the dubious honor of most incidents – 340 – since January, 2003. Commerce (297) is not too far behind.
