A Chronology of Data Breaches
Reported Since the ChoicePoint Incident
Privacy Rights Clearing House
The data breaches noted below
have been reported because the personal information compromised
includes data elements useful to identity thieves, such as Social
Security numbers, account numbers, and driver's license numbers. A few
breaches that do NOT expose such sensitive information have been
included in order to underscore the variety and frequency of data
breaches. However, we have not included the number of individuals
affected in such breaches in the total
because we want this compilation to reflect breaches that expose
individuals to identity theft as well as breaches that qualify for
disclosure under state laws.

City National Bank has become the second company in two months to experience a loss of backup tapes in transit by Iron Mountain Inc. The Los Angeles-based bank disclosed Thursday that two tapes containing sensitive data, including Social Security numbers, account numbers, and other customer information, were lost during transport to a secure storage facility.
The bank said the data was formatted to make the tapes difficult to read without highly specialized skills, but declines to say if they were encrypted. It said there's no evidence that data on the tapes has been compromised or misused.
Iron Mountain said it lost the tapes in April.

In many cases, low paid workers are handling sensitive tapes, but only
a small fraction of companies are securing the data with encryption.
Large companies are reconsidering their
security and backup policies after a handful of financial and
information-technology companies have admitted that tapes holding
unencrypted customer data have gone missing.
Last week, trading firm Ameritrade acknowledged that the company that
handles its backup data had lost a tape containing information on about
200,000 customers. The financial firm is now revising its backup
policies and, in the interim, has halted all movement of backup tapes,
a spokesperson said this week.

Iron Mountain loses data on 600K Time Warner employees
Boston Business Journal - May 2, 2005
Iron Mountain Inc. lost computer tapes containing information on 600,000 people employed by Time Warner Inc. since 1986, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
Iron Mountain spokeswoman Melissa Burman confirmed that one box of
computer tapes containing Time Warner employee records had been lost.
New York-based Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) said the U.S. Secret Service is investigating the incident.
The newspaper quoted Time Warner spokeswoman Kathy McKiernan saying
the tapes were placed in a container on March 22 and failed to show up
at an Iron Mountain storage facility that same day.
No evidence has turned up that the tapes' contents have been
accessed or misused, but the companies have been unable to rule out
foul play. Time Warner is providing affected employees with resources
to monitor their credit reports.
