I just wanted to let eveyone know that on Saturday, September 29, 2007 I got another letter in the mail from them announcing a second breach of information. A contract employee "helping" with the payroll department entered the building with a laptop, downloaded EVERY current and former employee's social security number, pay rate, etc and his laptop was allegedly stolen that evening. In the letter I received it mentions that they are offering a free year of credit monitoring for all employees. As if that's enough. They didn't learn from their first breach and allowed a second one to take place. What an upstanding company. I can't find anything about this most recent breach online yet so I'm posting it for you all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143657359145675608.post-56335550658519809742007-09-07T14:30:00.000-05:002007-09-07T14:30:00.000-05:00Unfortunate and truly a preventable act as the law...Unfortunate and truly a preventable act as the lawyers will quickly realize. <BR/><BR/>Database ExpertAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143657359145675608.post-30943152325878182202007-09-06T13:41:00.000-05:002007-09-06T13:41:00.000-05:00A little late, but important news nonetheless.A Ca...A little late, but important news nonetheless.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.securecomputing.net.au/news/59321,lawsuit-filed-against-certegy-over-data-breach.aspx" REL="nofollow">A California law firm has announced a class action lawsuit representing 8.5 million victims against Certegy.</A><BR/><BR/>People absolutely HAVE had their data used against them as a result of this breach and should most certainly be compensated for their troubles.<BR/><BR/>As with almost all class action lawsuits, the lawyers will get rich, rich, rich.

Can anyone give me a list of all casinos that use Certegy to process these transactions?<BR/><BR/> Frankly, I'm quite disturbed that Certegy has no other means of screening their employees. Can there be a more effective way to prosecute individuals who abuse customers personal information? Does Certegy plan to explore different ways to protect this information?

What i dont understand is that if certegy is having a lawsuit on whoever/whatever company handles where our information is suppose to be kept safe and it was stolen by an employee of the company that took our personal information, then why cant us who have been affected by this get any monetary compensation from the lawsuit that certegy is pursuing.Am I wrong in thinking or saying that certegy will benefit from our personal information being stolen? Shouldnt we as the victims get something from certegy? <BR/><BR/>changing bank accounts credit card numbers, savings accts, checking accts, shouldnt be left up to us the victims, Certegy should send any of the effected a monetary settlement or am I wrong in thinking this???

I would like to assure that the other employees that also have ACCESS to that information are being closly watched.<BR/><BR/>I just want to state that myself and other peers within this company were also victims of this "INFRACTION" and have also recieved the same letters as everyone else. Although it sounds scary, I can assure that the information consumed by these marketing organizations is not enough information to proceed with any identity theft or fraudulent activity on the accts. <BR/><BR/>PS. our fraud team is also closly monotoring these afected consumers and making sure that nothing is done with this information.<BR/><BR/>Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143657359145675608.post-45107583784284145962007-07-19T09:01:00.000-05:002007-07-19T09:01:00.000-05:00Good day.

This is the worst thing about a breach. Once confidentiality has been lost, you cannot be sure where the information has gone.
