Beware downloads to external drives
This month, a financial analyst at Countrywide was arrested and charged with stealing customer data and then selling it. OpRisk & Compliance reports that his ability to steal data in this manner stemmed from an IT oversight. Rene Rebollo, the arrested man, told the FBI that he knew computers in the Countrywide office had security features that prevented downloads to external drives, but he found an oversight. He was able to download names and info to his personal thumb drive. He stands accused of stealing 20,000 identities. Article
