Chief ChoicePoint screener says no employees involved in breach

An AP newswire article, via The Mercury News, reports that:

ChoicePoint Inc.'s chief screener said Monday no employees were involved in a breach last fall of the company's massive database of personal information, and she stressed that while procedures need to be improved, she doesn't believe any individuals made mistakes.

Carol A. DiBattiste, the former deputy administrator of the Transportation Security Administration who took over as ChoicePoint's head credentialing, compliance and privacy officer in May, told The Associated Press that while she hasn't been involved in the company's investigation of the breach, other executives have told her no employee contributed to what happened.

"What I can tell you, it did not involve a ChoicePoint employee,'' DiBattiste said in her first interview since assuming her new job.
