Not really, was just funny at the time. The i actually was an initial component of the acronym, but was deemed a bit much. So we picked the more subtle route (/i//)

Makes sense for a very little while, perhaps, and is legally permissible in most states to wait a short while if an investigation requires it, but after that you have to warn people.
At least Ohio has been open about it. Companies like IBM, Disney, Johnson & Johnson have had breaches of potentially greater magnitude this year and haven't been a fraction as honest about it : http://attrition.org/security/rant/z/partialtruths .html (shameless self promotion of my rant, but worth a read)
I track this stuff as a hobby, and while Ohio is big...it aint that big in the scheme of things (and they are being somewhat up front about the whole thing).

Losses like this are a CONSTANT occurrence. See http://etiolated.org/ http://www.privacyrights.org/ar/ChronDataBreaches. htm, and http://attrition.org/dataloss. This stuff happens almost every single day. From etiolated: 76,357,930 records lost this year! A rate of over 7 incidents per week.
