How Safe is Your Information? The Privacy Professor Offers Easy Tips to Stay Safe in an Increasingly Criminal World, in Honor of Data Privacy Day, Thursday, January 28.

Even the planet’s most prominent technology companies acknowledge it: No one is immune to security threats. That’s why giants such as Google, Intel and Microsoft – as well as government entities around the globe – are joining forces to acknowledge Data Privacy Day, January 28. Rebecca Herold, The Privacy Professor, has produced a podcast to help individuals and organizations understand and combat risks.

Des Moines, IA, January 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- In addition to securing a proclamation for the day by Iowa Governor Chet Culver, Herold is reaching out through an informative podcast that breaks the issue down in terms that apply to everyone. The audio recording includes case studies of recent security blunders – both personal and organizational – as well as what could have been done to prevent them. Examples include: using car owners’ GPS devices to guide criminals home to the loot, a U.S. government organization’s hard drive being sold by a repair vendor, and a large pharmacy chain being fined for exposing patients’ personal information.
