Today I got to see my new office. I am in a small room with a window (that I can’t get to), a nice computer with windows 2000 on it, and 40 computers. I am normally going to be left in there all day and do my own thing with only occasional contact with the outside world.
Today I was working with 244 floppies which needed to be formatted and then destroyed. Needless to say I had a very boring day. The floppies however did need to be formatted and destroyed because they contained sensitive information.
Sensitive information is information, like your social security information, and credit card number. In the floppies that I destroyed were the arrest records from the past 14 years or so. That means that if a hacker got his hands on this stuff than he/she could steal the identities of everyone who has gotten arrested since 1994 (it was probably more than this but that’s the oldest label which I saw).
