Handling Corporate Laptop Theft Gracefully
Billosaur writes "From NPR, we get a Marketplace story about the theft of corporate laptops and the sensitive data they may contain, specifically how to handle the repercussions. From the story: 'TriWest operates in about 21 states. It's based in Phoenix, Arizona. In December of 2002, somebody broke into the company's offices and stole two computer hard drives.And those hard drives contained the personal information of 550,000 of our customers from privates in the military all the way up to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.' How they handled the situation earned them an award from the Public Relations Society of America."
I have read your reply 4 times and still have no idea what this has to do with the topic at hand.
Mr. Webfish, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Bah, some corporate whore-org commends some member cuz they managed to pull the wool over everyone's eyes. That's like satan giving george bush a cookie.
From the PRSA website;
Chartered in 1947, PRSA's primary objectives are to advance the standards of the public relations profession and to provide members with professional development opportunities through continuing education programs, information exchange forums and research projects conducted on the national and local levels.
"You sure managed to make a positive spin on screwing the public and armed forces, good show chaps!"
So... like the retired officers club gives an award to the army for "blowed that up good", or maybe the United Tattoo Artists Association giving awards to Jesse James for pointing out his tats on TV.

If he gets his way, even possessing the kind of information that the thieves stole from his ca, and from his company, will be a crime someday
so what he's saying is that if he gets his way, all the credit bureaus, banks, insurance companies, everyone doing credit checks and your own accountant will be criminals. even his company
i'm sure that will work out JUST RIGHT.
remember kids, when you make it a crime to possess credit informations, only criminals will have that data
