Evidently a tape of thiers with over 150,000 peeps data is missing. See story here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080118/ap_on_hi_te/penney_data_breach I hope it's ok to post that link? They are paying for credit monitoring for 12 mths for compromised peeps, if you have an acct you may want to call GE. They are supposed to be sending letters out. Tegleg
They are reporting that the actual number is more like 650,000 persons' information. "But...the tape is only "lost" at this moment,.. "....
Sure. Well, I've had laptops with my data stolen before (at work), and when they retrieved them they said no data had been compromised. And I haven't had any problems (knock on wood).
Some idiot traveling with a laptop downloaded something they shouldn't have and left it on the hard drive. Laptop was left unsecured and was stolen. Said person no longer works for the company.
