And don't forget that Cintas is now part of the new Cintas-Shred-it company. They merged in March.

How much blame do we assess to Cintas and how much to evil people with bad intent? Let's be honest, this is a nightmare scenario for all of us. Not giving Cintas a pass, but we are in the same position in most of our organizations.
I work at a law firm. There is a lot of confidential and proprietary information. We have locks, alarms, cameras, monitoring, and many levels of security and control. But people are, and will be, the weak link.
I'll bet that not only Cintas but every secure shredding professional will look at this event and analyze how they can do better. At least I hope that will be an outcome. But the bad guys will find another exposure and exploit that.
How secure do you feel about your processes and risk exposure? Could a similar situation happen in your environment?
