Time Warner Admits Loss of Sensitive Data

CNN reports on its own parent company's apparent neglect regarding sensitive personal data of employees. 40 backup tapes that contained the social security numbers of over 600,000 current and former employees and their dependents are nowhere to be found. Time Warner is not sure what happened to the backup tapes. This is getting to be an every week occurence that someone admits to leaking personal information that could end up in the hands of identity theives. It's crazy how often this is happening these days. The scary thing about all of this is that for every one of these big companies that has to fess up, ho many smaller employers have it happen but don't say anything to the media--or how many don't even realize they've lost the data?!?!
