Why is this going for long time? As in, what is "Privacy" for future generations if every such records are lost everywhere. I guess, that the companies and "GOVERNMENT" should think of investing money on protecting DATA from LOOSING it rather than on FORENSICS that is helpful only if the evidence is in hand. Well, the simple logic is that "No Evidence, no use of forensics". So best is to avoid people storing CONFIDENTIAL data on portable devices no matter what their security clearance level is. The other best thing is to use always track data that goes in and out of the network. The next is to not let people whom you dont know into the building itself(perimeter) and to restrict people from moving from one department floor to the other or something of that sort(perimeter protection). Cant these be simple for people to take action on ?
