Your Statements Went Where?
How a Clerk's Slip-Up Put 73 People's Data at Risk
By Griff Witte
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, February 6, 2005; Page F01
Last May, Ryan Pirozzi visited his mailbox in Edina, Minn., and found it
overflowing with more than a dozen bank statements.
All were made out to his address. All held sensitive information about
various accounts.
He just wishes some of them had been his.

The Weblog Question
People are starting Weblogs in growing numbers, but the owner of the content isn't always clear
By John Foley, InformationWeek
Jan. 31, 2005
URL: http://www.informationweek.com/story/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=59100462
When Mark Jen started working for Google Inc. earlier this month, one of the first things he did was create a Weblog where he
discussed, among other things, his impressions of a Google sales meeting. It was too much information he soon learned, and
within two days, Jen removed the sensitive material from his Web site, explaining, "I goofed."
As more professionals create Weblogs, those opinion-filled Web sites where a mix of anecdote and insight can stir interest in one
person's observations or an entire company's strategy, the complexities and questions are beginning to surface. Who owns
Weblog content? What are the risks? And how far should employees go in sharing their thoughts?
FBI's $170 million case system slammed
By Jerry Seper
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Published February 4, 2005
The FBI will have to replace or scrap a $170 million electronic case management system deemed critical to the war on terror after
failing to deploy it despite more than three years of effort, the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General said yesterday.
In a report, Inspector General Glenn A. Fine said implementation of the Virtual Case File (VCF) system, designed to replace
the FBI's antiquated paper-based system, was hampered by poorly defined and slowly evolving design requirements and weak
management practices at the FBI.
