The cost of that stolen laptop!

Following on from a previous post, here is some information about how the cost of a stolen laptop can spiral out of control…

A laptop (and external hard drive) belonging to the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) was stolen from an VA employees house when he had taken (unauthorised) the laptop home for some weekend work!

To date, the ramifications of that thief are having an increasing cost for the (yes it really does say $15 million! and here, yes it really does say $160 million!!!!) for the US VA and other government departments.

I suspect that the VA organisation wished that they had installed some of the software discussed in the previous post! Or perhaps a copy of this product!
