WSOCTV.com discusses the increasing number of cases of security breaches in North Carolina government agencies, wherein over 26,000 North Carolinians have been affected by six incidents of breaches for this year alone. Commonly reported security breach cases range from stolen laptops to missing USB drives and hard drives, which are popular storage devices of sensitive information. In response, the state claims to have notified those affected by the breach and informed consumer reporting agencies as required by the law. These days, a single leak of personal information can destroy a reputation and scrape off savings. The writer also mentions that according to experts, breach of personal information is a precursor to identity theft, which many people do to steal money or to get away with legal charges. Hence, there's definitely a need for laptop and USB encryption technology to protect sensitive information from being used by crooks to their advantage.
