Chase Bank recently lost a backup tape containing their customer’s personal information including social security number, name and address. They said that there’s no evidence that the tape has been used, but how do they know.

Here’s a link to the letter they sent to their customers:

The letter states that you need special equipment to read the tape, but if there’s no risk for the tape to be viewed, then why are they offering free credit monitoring service?

Intriguing site. My class mates and I were just talking about this the other evening. Also your blog looks excellent on my old palm treo. Now thats uncommon. Keep it up.
Thanks for this cool post. Anyway i found your blog on yahoo and find it very useful. I’ll be sure to come back again for more!
Solid blog. I got a lot of effective data. I’ve been watching this technology for awhile. It’s intriguing how it keeps shifting, yet some of the core factors stay the same. Have you seen much change since Google made their most recent acquisition in the domain?

Hey I just wanted to let you know, I actually like the piece of writing on your website. But I am utilising Firefox on a machine running version 8.x of Xubuntu and the look and feel aren’t quite satisfying. Not a big deal, I can still basically read the articles and search for information, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of difficult to use with the config I’m running. Keep up the great work!
well i suggest they should be trying to use LTO Tape for taking backup next time as it provides the maximum of backup needs
