She needed her files backed up (and deleted) ecause she was going to give her old computer to an employee. It turned out that the computer had at least 4 years of files on it – none of which was in any sort of order. And nothing had ever been backed up! EGADS. So I went to work cleaning out

Two years ago a laptop was stolen from a NYS agency that included my personal information. For months I didn’t know it had happened — not until they sent me a letter. And to rectify the problem months after an article hit the newspapers about the theft, the agency paid for 1 years membership for thousands of people to monitor our credit reports, costing them thousands upon hundreds of thousands of dollars.
