Hard Drive With Clinton-Era Data Missing From Nat'l Archives
CWmike writes "An external hard drive that's believed to contain nearly 1TB of data from the Clinton Administration is missing from the US National Archives and Recording Administration (NARA). The drive includes more than 100,000 Social Security numbers and home addresses of people who visited or worked at the White House. Among those whose information is on the list is one of then-Vice President Al Gore's three daughters. The drive also contained details on the security procedures used by the Secret Service at the White House, as well as event logs, social gathering logs, political records and other information from the Clinton administration. Rep. Darrell Issa, (R-Calif.) said the Archives was in the process of converting information from the drive to a digital records system when it apparently disappeared. The hard drive was apparently removed from a secure storage area to a workplace where at least 100 'badge-holders' had access to it, Issa noted."
There was a 1TB HDD in the Clinton administration? I knew it, he was a Terminator!
Is it just me, or is "Clinton-era data" slang for "jizz"?
Somebody check Sandy Berger's underwear!!!

Obviously not secure enough.
C'mon. There was a sign on the door saying "beware of the leopard".

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
home addresses of people who visited or worked at the White House. Gee, I can't imagine who would be interested in this information. After all, it's not like anybody in the White House at that time was a well-known philanderer with a brilliant but opportunistic wife who might want to track down some of his late-night "visitors", is it? Maybe it's just our new Secretary of State working on her enemies list. I'm not sure 1 TByte is enough to record all of the bimbos, but at least it's a start.
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
its probably them who took it on their way out

They should check the London Underground train system. I hear a lot of missing secret government data ends up there.

Since the summary said the disk "is" missing, i was going to chime in (humourously) with "Whether it really IS missing depends on what the meaning of IS IS..."

Who ever stole it reformatted and is using it for bit torrent porn downloads now.
And in an odd quirk of fate, filling it back up with the original contents...

Check eBay.
1984 was not supposed to be an instruction manual.
How do you know, if the data's been lost?
Because there's no evidence of it, of course!!
"City hall" in German is "Rathaus" Kinda explains a few things......
Sandy Berger borrowed it. I'm sure he will return it soon with no revisions made. :-)

I'm not quite enough of a geek to quote it verbatim, though.

If it's .bmp files of everybody's fingerprints, it will also compress well.
Nope--it's one file. It's the .bmp of Monica Lewinski for her photo ID badge. It's a lot of pixels.

The missing HDD is full of Bill's top-secret porn. No question about it.
Silly ciggieposeur, you forgot the tags and got your ass mod slapped.
Just callin' it like I see it.

And when you exit, I hope ...
Don't blame me -- I voted for Roslin.
But it's OK, because the data was encrypted, right? RIGHT?
Actually it was left on the 08:14 train from Clapham Junction to London Victoria by an Mi5 employee this morning.... You just can't get the staff anymore :(
Meanwhile, a laptop containing credit card information was left on a train leaving Queensbury at 09:16, bound for Knightsbridge. Assuming standard rail speeds, will the two data breaches be able to be brought together?
