Security of Your Backups
Was in lower Manhattan yesterday between customer meetings. Walking across Cedar Street to Broadway very near Wall Street. I passed a FedEX truck with the rear door open. A stack of boxes sitting on the sidewalk. All unattended. As I passed I noticed one of the boxes was clearly marked in bold lettering Iron Mountain. I got to the end of the block before thinking of getting a photo if they were still there. So I returned to get this snapshot, the boxes still unattended.
Do you think this customer entended to have their data or backup tapes out on display for all to see on Cedar Street? Do you think they were protected in some way?
I sure hope my personal information isn't on these tapes.
