If Semtech quickly notified its workers of a possible breach and ensured access to identity theft protection services, Siciliano said, then the Camarillo company took "a strong approach to preventing identity from occurring. It's unfortunate that it has to be reactive, but that's just the way things go when this happens." Siciliano said there is little Semtech could have done to prevent the incident." [...] Errr... "little Semtech could have done"? How about a nice policy regarding NOT putting personal information on mobile devices, especially laptops, with penalties up to and including termination of employment for doing so? _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () attrition org) http://attrition.org/dataloss Tenable Network Security offers data leakage and compliance monitoring solutions for large and small networks.
