New York is the location of yet another identity information on public website fun. It is sad, but I am kind of used to reading about these. What is slightly more shocking was the reason given why the data was out there in the first place:
The documents were posted on the New York site as a convenience to lenders looking to learn more about the financial status of potential borrowers.
Ah yes… for the convenience of industry the government will put citizens at risk. I thought that government was formed to protect citizens, not to facilitate industry making a buck off them. Oh wait, I forgot, this whole HD television thing is an exercise in that. Ok, ok, ok, if government is going to help industry make a buck off of us, at least do it more securely.
Stuff like this makes me wish I could be a Blank.
