Aside from the privacy issue, couriered tapes are also a concern due to the "Crash Restart" method of system attack. Basically, a hacker colludes with your courier to drop off your tapes in the morning. The courier then picks up the altered tapes that afternoon. A couple of really nasty things happened to your tapes that day. ________________________________ From: dataloss-bounces () attrition org on behalf of security curmudgeon Sent: Fri 6/6/2008 3:24 PM To: dataloss () attrition org Subject: [Dataloss] time to name names (was Re: MORE BNY (Mellon Corp) Tapeslost) : http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/business/s_570347.html : : "The tape was being carried by a commercial carrier ... and was lost in : transit," said Ron Sommer, at the bank's Downtown offices. "It was : ground transportation delivery, and it didn't reach its destination." The amount of data loss incidents due to backup media being lost in transit is disgusting. While everyone looks to the oragnizations like BNY for these incidents, they need to disclose which commercial carriers are losing the data like this. I want to see the data and determine if a specific carrier or service is primarily at fault here if that is where the blame lies. _______________________________________________ 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.
