Of course, the recent data theft incidents are only the tip of the iceberg at LexisNexis and ChoicePoint. I think we pretty much all saw that one coming. What scares me, however, is the fact that a) they didn't know about it themselves or b) if they did, they weren't going to tell anybody.
Their plan to "improve the security of their passwords and ID administration" is too little too late in my opinion. Why can't I, as an innocent spy-ee of their system, opt out of their "protection" measures and just not be included in the database?
