Just how secure is your personal information? First it was 1.2 million Federal employees affected by lost tapes containing credit card information by Bank of America. Then it was personal data stolen from LexisNexis and ChoicePoint Inc. Now it seems that personal data from 8,900 people was stolen from the Nevada DMV.

The havoc that could be inflicted on everyone is just mind boggling. As business’, hospitals and the government put more of our personal information into databases the more vulnerable we are. The Nevada case is just the latest but won’t be the last. Check your credit report and maybe think twice about giving up all that important information. Just imagine the implications if we ever go to a true national ID card. Just how secure will we really be?
