Everyone
I believe the incident described below occurred at the Regina, SK office of ISM, an IBM subsidiary. The incident in this case involved an IDE drive from a server or other Wintel platform. As I understand the details of this incident, the disk contained, or may have contained, a significant amount of personal data belonging to a number of government departments and other private enterprises, such as insurance companies. The disk was removed from service for whatever reason and went missing before it could be wiped of data. The incident received significant coverage in the press. The following site has a description of the ISM incident. http://www.e-commercealert.com/article566.html A couple of years ago, disk drives were stolen from an IBM outsourcing centre here in Canada. I believe they were from a box attached to a mainframe. With the advent of the actual disk drives for a mainframe being the same size as those for a PC, it becomes a lot easier. There was speculation that the drive(s?) was/were taken for use in a PC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
