kudos:11 | What Took Verizon So Long? Verizon appears to have had very poor security measures in place to begin with.
I worked in a job where I had access to social security information. Info about celebrities, politicians, VIP's, etc. is blocked from easy access as a matter of policy. If you queried any record too many times, you were called into management's office the next day to explain. If you queried a name that was similar to your own, or to a co-worker's, you were called into managment's office the next day. If you queried too many records that had certain similarities, like say your same year of birth as if you were looking up classmates and friends, you were called into management's office the next day.
The system wasn't perfect, and I'm sure upper management had greater access than I did, but we took privacy seriously. Anyone who somehow managed to use the system for personal use was fired and prosecuted.
