Fed bank insurer's worker data breached (6,000 workers - FDIC)
http://money.cnn.com/2005/06/16/news/economy/security_fdic/index.htm?cnn=yes

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which insures many of the nation's banks, has alerted 6,000 current and former employees that personal information may have been released and that some individuals could be the victims of identity theft.

In a letter dated last Friday and obtained by CNN, the FDIC told employees that anyone employed at the agency since July 2002 may be affected. It said that names, birth dates, Social Security numbers and account information may have been breached.

The letter instructs employees to "remain vigilant over the next 12-24 months, and promptly report incidents of suspected identity theft to the local police and the credit bureaus."

Paul Resson, a spokesman for the FDIC, told CNN that the FBI is investigating the security breach along with the FDIC's own internal investigators.

1. Seems like a lot of that going on lately.
Remind all those who are now at risk due to their info floating around that if employers, creditors, hospitals can't keep hackers out of their sensitve files, computer voting can't be safe either.
