In February last year, a magnetic tape with information on about 120,000 Japanese customers of its Citibank division disappeared while being shipped by truck from a data management center in Singapore. The tape held names, addresses, account numbers and balances. It has never turned up. And this week the company revealed that it had happened again - this time the loss of an entire box of tapes in the care of the United Parcel Service, with personal information on nearly four million American customers. <http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/09/business/09data.html?> New York Times Audit Finds Security Dept. Is Lacking Disaster Backups By ERIC LIPTON WASHINGTON, June 8 - In a nationwide advertising blitz, the Homeland Security Department has urged businesses and families to "Get Ready Now" for potential terror attacks or other disasters. But an internal audit released on Wednesday concluded that the department had fundamentally failed to follow its own advice. Computer systems at 19 department sites that served agencies like the Transportation Security Administration, Customs and Border Protection and the Coast Guard had no functioning backups or relied on obviously deficient or incomplete backups, the report by the inspector general of the department said. Even the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which is in charge of disaster recovery, was unprepared, the report said. <http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/09/politics/09home.html> MSN Money What Europe can teach us about identity theft An epidemic of identity theft is sweeping the U.S., but it hasn't spread to Europe.
