   Movie?

   I believe I heard it in a movie once - "Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways...your sad devotion to that ancient religion hasn't helped you conjur up the stolen data tapes..."

   Beware UPS

   My brother worked there for a while, just long enough that they didn't have to pay him benefits of course, just like everyone else. He saw a lot of things "disappear" off the truck. Thinking of insuring your package? UPS will mark it with a sticker indicating that it is insured. The employees see the sticker and that package has less chance of making its way to the destination, especially if it is small.

   Not Backups..

   My understanding is these were tapes destined for a credit reporting agency. It also appears they were not encrypted. Now I have to verify that my business follow the new PCI vaildation system invented by Citigroup and others that requires me to preform due diligence with all my credit card data. And have a seperate company certified by Citigroup do the testing of my security. Which ironically includes that I encrypt all backup and transfered data plus 10 more pages of security requirements. http://usa.visa.com/business/accepting_visa/ops_risk_management/cisp.html?ep=v_sym_cisp
   Dont do as I do, do as I say.

   Re: Beware UPS

   1. If your brother was a driver - his benefits package is determined by Teamsters.
   2. UPS does not sticker (or mark) insured packages.
