Boeing stolen laptop held ID data on 382,000

Why is employee data on laptops anyway?: This is not new. Left and right company and government laptops are being stolen
that have employee data on them. The question no one in the media seems to ask is
why is this data on the laptop to begin with. Employee data should be stored on
secured mainframes and accessed through a password protected internet
application. I can see maybe a handfull of employee reviews on a loptop, which
should be downloaded ASAP but to have 382K employee's data on a laptop is stupid.; Posted by: usc1801 Posted on: 12/15/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
