‘The Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) said in January that more than 35 million data records were breached in 2008 in the U.S., a record number. ‘

Carefully worded to obtain more funding, folks.

"The FAA is moving quickly to prevent any similar incidents and has identified immediate steps as well as longer-term measures to further protect personal information," according to a statement.

Or, as Aesop might have written, "Even as dust from the hooves of fleeing data horses settled around the King's barnyard, a servant was dispatched to the shop of the local iron monger, where a large lock was purchased to be installed on the swinging door of the data barn.

"And almost everyone lived happily ever after. Including the wealthy iron monger and his sharp-faced wife."

Let me try to figure what country was was involved:

China, yes has the engineering capability
Israel, yes, has the need for the info
Greenland, No, never
Germany, maybe
Japan, yes, has the engineering capability

Gee, I wonder who would do a thing like that....

FAA Notifies Employees of Personal Identity Breach

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The FAA today notified employees that an agency computer was illegally accessed and employee personal identity information was stolen electronically. All affected employees will receive individual letters to notify them about the breach.

The FAA is moving quickly to prevent any similar incidents and has identified immediate steps as well as longer-term measures to further protect personal information. The agency is also providing a toll-free number and information on the employee website for those who believe they may be affected by the breach.

Two of the 48 files on the breached computer server contained personal information about more than 45,000 FAA employees and retirees who were on the FAA’s rolls as of the first week of February 2006.

The server that was accessed was not connected to the operation of the air traffic control system or any other FAA operational system, and the FAA has no indication those systems have been compromised in any way.

Appropriate law enforcement agencies have been notified and are investigating the data theft.
