Frank Uncovers Excellence in Leadership

Responsibility?

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

Heck no! After all—the majority of leaders don’t take responsibility either. Why should Affiliated Computer Services?
More and more data is getting stolen, breached in or just plain lost.

Wouldn’t you expect some leadership?

Someone to step up and

1. Apologize
2. Take responsibility
3. Find those responsible and make darn sure that they never ever handle the personal data of anybody
4. Implement some security (IRS at least is finally trying)
5. 
   Protects our data and our privacy

How in God’s name can you lose the data of 2.9 Million people? But wait, that’s just the tip of the iceberg:

Since early 2005, more than 150 million personal records have been exposed in dozens of incidents, according to information compiled by the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse.
Identity fraud continues to top the complaints reported to the Federal Trade Commission. Such complaints, which include credit card fraud, bank fraud, as well as phone and utilities fraud, accounted for 36 percent of the total 674,354 complaints submitted to the FTC and its external data contributors in 2006.

A good thing that the majority just do not file complaints, right?

And—if we don’t report anything—those who do not know don’t complain, right?

And please spare me asking for tougher laws. We do have enough laws; but are they enforced?
