I have never used any name but my own, I have not had delinquent accounts, the accounts are in a state other than the one I live in, I do not have my SSN on my hard drive, I shred everything that comes in the mail with my name on it, but... I am a registered nurse in the state of MA and they compromised me in Oct! What can we do about this?

What I want to know is, if the disks were released "on or about September 12" why did I only get a letter notifying me of this on NOVEMBER 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

A class Action suit, and make anyone in connection liable, and offer all of us a large settelment, since we will need the money after the 90 days is up, and all the 26 discs that are still on the hardrives, just waiting to be sold to all the idenity experts. Trust me, the State Of MA and the DPL has screwed us. May i suggest we all combine our efforts to put an end of business as usual for the state.

Since their security procedures are so poor, how many incidents have gone unreported? Saying they're sorry doesn't cut it either. How about some Credit Protection free of charge. Walk the walk, don't talk the talk. How can the DPL prove that none of the information was compromised? Since their security procedures are so poor, how many incidents have gone unreported?
