I Was Wrong. Sensitive Data *Does* Fall Off The Back Of Trucks

From the Breach Blog:

Victims: "wealthy investors" Number Affected: 200 Types of Data: Financial details Breach Description: A box containing sensitive paperwork related to 200 wealthy investors was found on the side of the road near Reading in Berkshire (UK). The box was in transit from a Prudential building in Reading to a secure storage facility in Essex when it apparently fell out of the DHL courier van. Among the 200 wealthy investors that were affected were three UK national lottery winners.

I used to joke about sensitive data falling off the backs of trucks during my data security presentations. Guess I have to re-write the joke.

the joke is still good, it just seems that reality has become the new punch-line…

Just add a picture of a DHL van and everything will work out just fine in the end. =)
