Take a look at this story about a woman who trusted Circuit City with her private information. You can read the story here (http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/4460522/detail.html). I'm not sure what is worse trusting Circuit City with something that should never be done by anyone else or... well... trusting Circuit City. I hope that Circuit City get the book thrown at them for what they allowed to happen. At the same time I think if I was the judge I would order her to take a basic computer operation course and drop her AOL account. Ummm ok I was just kidding about the AOL account. ;D

Why? nothing she did was her fault. It's just Circuit City caught with its pants down. They should just suck it up and settle it.

With all the stories about identity theft from everything from someone digging through someones trashcan and/or mailbox to bad bank employees stealing customers information to take out their own credit cards (this happened to my spouse a couple of years ago by the way). It seems that it would be common sense now that you don't trust your information to anyone else to copy or move data from one hard drive to another. I just think that if she was that concerned about keeping her information private that she would have learned how to handle it herself. Maybe I am being harsh but I can suspend all distrust in a total stranger just because he or she is wearing a polo shirt with a company logo on it.
