Imbeciles Of The Month
CNN reports that an unknown person walked out of the graduate division offices of UC-Berkeley two weeks ago with a university laptop. No big deal, right? Wrong.
The laptop contained personal information on most people who applied to or attended graduate school there since 1976. That's almost 100,000 people whose personal information, often including social security numbers and dates of birth, are now in the public domain.
Congratulations Berkeley. You are our Imbeciles of the Month.
Now that I think about it, Lex has been out in Berkeley for the last week supposedly for a seminar. I wonder if he was pursuing the thief?
