The Federal Trade Commission has reported that two of their laptops have been stolen, leaving 110 more people at risk of identity theft. http://news.com.com/FTC+laptop+theft+puts+110+people+at+risk/2100-1029_3-6087218.html?tag=cd.top
Now 110 is absolutely minute compared to other numbers (26.5 in particular) but the fact that the US commission responsible for protecting us from fraud and identity theft is now making dumb mistakes with their laptops. It is so difficult to feel safe these days, and this just adds insult to injury.
If the FTC had used remote laptop security they would not have to worry about a thing because the laptops would be useless to the criminals.

This has to be a moral vistory for hackers because they made the FTC look like complete hypocrites with laptop security. I just don’t get why people continue to carry around important laptops with information on it, you’d think they would have learned from the 100+ thefts lately….
