US Supreme Court Justice is a Data Breach Victim
An employee of a McLean Virginia investment firm exposed client data to the Internet when attempting to remotely access music files on a peer-to-peer network. Justice Breyer's name, social security number, and date of birth was among nearly 2000 clients effected by the data breach. To participate on a peer-to-peer file sharing service requires the installation of software and the sharing of files. When installing software or opening files a firewall on personal, office, or networked computer systems may detect activity that is unwanted by the user.
