Today it was reported that the person who runs the FTC had some personal information stolen from a retailer that she frequented.
Now for the funny part, the FTC is in charge of helping people get through the process of getting their identity back after it has been stolen. In this case the company was at fault and let some 1.4 million people's CC numbers get stolen.
I also love the comment that the retail had trouble informing its customers because it doesn't collect address information at its stores. This is a good thing[tm] in my opinion. The less information you give the retailer, the less information they can lose. I won't even give them my zip code or phone number when they ask. I just politely say, "No thanks".
