people, discuss..

That is something we need to do: file a class action lawsuits for their unwillingness to protects our information. In fact, let get our money back because it is one of the worst colleges I ever went to.. unless you are in a circle of favorism or legacies.

People, discuss!

Never mind. Not worth it. Just suffice it to say that this is not an ADA matter.

ClearSky

Huh? It's not their problem that you didn't like their college. Many college people experience not so good colleges not just NTID. I am not in the circle of favorism or legacies. Money is in your interest just because you think you can try.

Leave the lawyers attend to more important cases.

Exactly. Looking for an endowment.

Just a question - How is it related to the ADA issue? Are you referring to the laptop situation that recently occurred at NTID/RIT? Or are you referring to any kind of accommodations which u were denied of or what? Can you clarify this?

I think it's related to the laptop situation.....

Kalista

It is regarding to stole their I.D. as fraud to application for the loan. It made a huge messy for their credits. It is awful to think about the hackers stole their SSN, DOB and ID information. It is extremely hurtful their credit.

Well. This person who posted his/her name should have a better username instead.

I'll wait to hear what he/she has to say about a problem with. I think I agree with you about the sensitive information on the laptop that was stolen.

imdeafsowhat

YOU and only you can do it IF, this is a big if, your information has been used without you being notified.

But, you've been informed about it and your information hasn't been used and have you talked to your credit agency about your info being stolen, if not, the court would simply say YOU ARE IRRESPONSIBLE. Simple.

webexplorer

That is probably not true. Some of us were not informed. This is how we found out here. Probably, RIT/NTID cannot afford papers and inks to write thousands of letters to us. I dunno. If that happens, then we could create a lawsuit. But, I am not going to jump that one.

The person is a big responsible that he/she carried the most sensitive information on the laptop, and he/she should be a criminal. No matter what. I hope that he/she has to pay a big fine, and he/she should go to a prison for 5 to 10 years. For sake, a laptop without a password in it. Oh brother!

The common sense that the DVD or a hard disk(s) should be in the safe box at the main building, not leave it on the top of the desk in his/her office.

Jiro

that's ridiculous. Any companies/institutions/etc are required by FEDERAL LAW to notify of those whose records were compromised.

DVD.... HDD.... those can be easily stolen. In fact - you wouldn't even know if it's gone until there is audit being done. My personal information was stolen on routine back-up hdd that was being transported to a secured location. It's possible the hdd was misplaced.

Currently - there is NO federal law mandating such level of security requirement to ensure the security of personal data. Europe recently passed the law regarding data security that any companies/institutions/etc. collecting the personal info (like SSN, etc.) MUST meet its security requirement. That's what USA needs.

imdeafsowhat

It is true that it's the person's, who holds the laptop to his responsiblity, fault. But then, today laptops are easy to steal. It's portable, it's small, it's light, and it's a machine.

The main idea is to have offices secured and filled with security so nothing like that should happen but then, that person must've studied very careful, probably a student who's learning just about everything.

You have been informed, I know, because my roommate was informed and she lives in the west. Perhaps you're just going crazy and probably failing your classes.

Good luck, I say. I'd suggest you to get a petition signed by 1000 students who were involved to make a case against NTID/RIT. But then, who's to say the students really care about their financial issues when they're trying to finish school on time.

jillio

Why are you so intimidated by education? I detect a huge sense of insecurity there.

Jiro

Actually - it's the university's responsibility since they are the one who employed that person. They are the one who creates policy regarding data security and trained that person. Apparently - the security policy sucks and their oversight sucks.

It'd be nice to have a federal requirement regarding data security like EU.

imdeafsowhat

Because you can learn what you learn in school off the internet.

Going to school only gives you the reputation of finishing school with commitment.

Jiro

so if that's what you think..... then I feel sorry for you. Ignorance is bliss, indeed... indeed...

jillio

It gives you an education. Something you are sadly in need of. Education is a dyadic process. Can't be achieved through an online school. Technology is an adjunct to education, not a replacement.

imdeafsowhat

Perhaps.

But who are you to say that one needs an education?

Are you a professor? Or a student?

Jiro

says the world.

jillio

Both.

And the world says one needs an education.

imdeafsowhat

The world is full of crap.

jillio

Typcial statement from one who is intimidated by education, and afraid to get one themselves.

imdeafsowhat

Assuming isn't a game. It's a bad habit.

jillio

Quite bad. You should consider getting some help with that.

imdeafsowhat

You are helping me with that.

jillio

Not intentionally.

imdeafsowhat

Then leave me alone, I'm not a lawsuit you should be working on.

jillio

You aren't a lawsuit at all.
