Hattiesburg police search for leads in a June break-in at City Hall of computers and 18 hard drives containing private data on thousands of employees and contractors, registered voters, and people who had paid water system bills via direct deposit, including names addresses, social security #s, bank account numbers.. None of the people, whose private data was on the stolen equipment, have had their data used fraudulently, yet. A surveillance video saw 2 men doing the break in, and the FBI is helping to enhance that video. Apparently the city saved money by no monitoring of surveillance video until discovery of $ 150,000.00 worth of property been stolen, not counting the value of the personal data. City Hall is now having a specialist come in to review security arrangements. http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060707/NEWS01/607070313/1002 http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060805/NEWS01/608050305/1002 _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () attrition org) http://attrition.org/errata/dataloss/
