The Washington Post: In yet another example of fragile security in federal cyber systems, data for 44,000 Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. customers was breached by an employee leaving the agency.
The breach occurred in February and was outlined in an internal FDIC memorandum obtained by The Washington Post. The March 18 memo from Lawrence Gross Jr., FDIC’s chief information officer and chief privacy officer, to FDIC Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg said the data were downloaded to a personal storage device “inadvertently and without malicious intent.”
