 |
| The three major
credit rating agencies,
along with major banks
and data collection
companies, have
accidentally exposed the
personal data of millions
of customers to identity
thieves. What have these
giant companies done to
help the victims of their
carelessness? |
| A ) | Notified those whose
records were exposed,
providing free details of
the information which may
have been stolen. |
| B ) | Introduced
aggressive new security
measures to make sure it
never happens again. |
| C ) | Offered
to sell the records which
may have been exposed
back to their customers,
and sell them expensive
insurance against further
exposure of their records
due to continuing
carelessness at the
companies. |
| Hint: The Yiddish word which
