A review of A CHRONOLOGY OF DATA BREACHES 2005 - 2009 at http://www.scribd.com/doc/12576171/A-Chronology-of-Data-Breaches-2005-2009 will give any neutral observer pause. For example, in April 2007, using an online tax service, a Nebraska woman discovered that she was able to access the tax returns of other filers in different parts of the USA. Fortunately, she had no malicious intent and promptly reported the breach. Surely, to mangle Voltaire's famous line, one does not want protection to be the enemy of good, but (for me) online data protection is not yet good enough. Pax, ~rc
