Four backup storage cartridges containing personal information on 800,000 people were lost during shipment. The cartridges were not encrypted, but they use a format requiring specialized hardware and software to access. California Department of Child Support Services: Cartels were not properly secured at IBM facility in Colorado. IBM spokesman: “It’s premature to draw conclusions at this time. The security and protection of data is of utmost importance to IBM” The department is contacting all those whose information was lost and recommending they place a fraud alert on credit cards.”]
