Re: stolen UCLA laptops

Does anyone know how far back (in time) the records go that
have been compromised? I was both a blood donor and a blood
recipient there in 2002 and haven't heard from them regarding
the theft.

There are several things that laptop users can do to protect themselves from experiencing this type of headache. The most effective is the Krickit. A 2 factor access management and file encryption device that allows users to encrypt the information that is important to them, disable the use of cd-rom, floppy or removable devices, and perform access management functions like auto logon/logoff.

Laptop theft does not need to be such a disaster! Sure it is expensive to replace a laptop but if you do not have to worry about explaining to the people affected, why their information was comprimised and possibly face lawsuits.

With the low cost of this highly effective security device it doesnt make sense to leave customer, proprietary or personal information unprotected.
