ID Theft Focus - Please Ensure Your Company’s Name Does Not Appear on this Website!

Attrition.org has established itself as the whistleblower on organizations that loose sensitive personal data, whether on laptops, CDs, flash drives etc. To quote from the site:

“In what has become a regular occurrence, companies, universities, and various government entities are collecting your personal information (sometimes without your knowledge or consent), and subsequently letting it fall into the hands of the bad guys.”

If you loose data and the story gets into the press, the news will filter onto the attrition website and remain there forever, readily available at the fingertips of prosecution lawyers, information commissioners, and, of course, your CEO!
