If you went to Computer school in the 80s, they probably told you about the pitfalls of companies storing your personal information. The companies, it was said, would be good stewards of customers’ personal data because it would reflect poorly on their businesses if they weren’t You might go somewhere else. Also, there would be people whose sole purpose would be to safeguard your information. Computer Security Specialists would be in great demand. And, back then, if you got a Computer Security Specialist you might have to pay him really well. Here’s the thing: Back then, you wouldn’t have heard much about computers being hacked because it didn’t happen. But, that was then. Elites and pencil pushers didn’t like putting out big checks for computer guys. I mean, they were getting paid as much as your CPA s for goodness sake. But, I could’ve told you then, like I can tell you know, a computer security guy is worth more in my book…much more. But, I mean, globalism, outsourcing, all those things, helped the elitist get rid of those high paychecks, (like they really hurt? pfffft!
Well, our politicians have been selling out and failing us all along. Our companies are very bad stewards of our data. In fact, they ask for it and hand it out faster than the free tubes of tooth paste at your dentist’s office. And, it’s continually hacked. Who even wants to know about the big eights when the largest banks keeping getting hacked over, and over. And the largest pharmaceutical companies, and the largest HMOs and the supermarkets and headhunters and just about everyone else. Right now, your data is in someone’s in more than one place over in the Eastern world thanks to your lovely stewards. Now, it’s you that needs to keep proving who you are, and where your computer is, and three very personal questions, and the last 4 of this and that and your pin, and still they say can’t tell who you are. But, if they were looking for you, do you think they’d find you fast enough? Well, that answer was already proven by a journalist years ago. Putting two and two together, you can tell companies haven’t much tried to even be good stewards, or maybe the lower paid professionals just can’t manage it. It could’ve all been done much better. Much better. You could have your information stored in one place in the world and the any and every company would have to retrieve it if they wanted it. Why did we let things get so lax? I hope it isn’t always the case. But, we’ll try to keep you up to snuff right here.
