Identity Theft of Many SAIC Employees

Posted by Zonk on from the not-like-losing-your-wallet dept.

Rick Zeman writes "In the wake of the Geoge Mason University identity theft comes another: SAIC, an employee-owned company, has had a break-in which '...netted computers containing the Social Security numbers and other personal information about tens of thousands of past and present company employees.' These employees include anyone who's owned SAIC stock, and since it's an employee-owned company, that's most of them, including 'some of the nation's most influential former military and intelligence officials.'"

    I don't mean to be a troll, but I'm overjoyed by this news. Normal, everyday US citizens have been getting screwed over by identity theft for years, now.

    In the aftermath of this, hopefully some governmental officials will start learning why using only semi-private identifiers like "Social Security numbers and other private information" is so bad for us.
