U.S. OMB: 'People are Losing Data'

Matthew Weigelt writes on FCW.com:

Between July and Sept. 30, agencies reported 338 separate security incidents involving personally identifiable information to the Office of Management and Budget, Karen Evans, OMB’s administrator for e-government and information technology, said today.

Many of the incidents, however, are not attacks on government information from outsiders, Evans said in a speech at the IT Association of America’s annual Chief Information Security Officer Workshop in Falls Church, Va.

“Primarily, people are losing data,” she said.
