Natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina often pave the way for looting, price gouging, and other opportunistic scams -- including identity theft. Most Gulf Coast residents are still in survival mode, focused on keeping themselves, their loved ones, and their belongings out of harm's way. But as they deal with the devastation, how can they safeguard their personal information to keep identity thieves from compounding their problems?
Think about all of the data/information that is now lost and/or in the open in New Orleans. Think of all the fuss that has been made in the past over just one missing tape. How many tapes do you think are floating down Bourbon Street this AM?
How many corporate DR plans were up for the task? It is one thing to be a large company with just offices in the area, but what if your headquarters (and DR site) were in the path Katrina? Could your company operate in an area under water and Martial Law?
