Hot Data

Some simple, cheap measures could help to protect personal data.
The theft of data, often involving personal information about customers and employees is increasing dangerously fast. After data on 40m credit-card accounts were stolen from the computers of a data-processing firm based in Atlanta, Georgia, business leaders and politicians everywhere are taking notice.

Data theft accounted for over $50 billion in losses last year in America alone. Careless information-security practices have left vulnerable the personal information – such as financial details, health records and Social Security numbers – of around 50m Americans.

Europe has avoided the spectacular data-protection problems that have been happening in America. That may be in part because it started to take the problem seriously a decade ago. The European Union’s 1995 data-protection directive requires firms to assess their data-protection practices and to document how they handle sensitive information. These simple rules have encouraged firms to address the issue of data security. But the biggest weakness of the European directive is that it does not require firms to report privacy breaches. As a result, it is impossible to say how effective it has really been.

In Japan, companies have to make a public announcement when privacy breaches take place. America and Europe should do the same.

Vocabulary:

steal (stole, stolen) – воровать, красть

credit-card account – счет на кредитной карте

data-processing firm – фирма по передаче и обработке данных

avoid – избегать

directive – распоряжение, приказ

assess – оценивать

breach – нарушение

Ex 3.2. Являются утверждения верными (Right), неверными (Wrong) или об этом ничего не сказано (Doesn't say) в тексте?

1. People steal more data now than in the past.

2. Thieves stole credit cards from a data-processing firm in Atlanta.

3. The unprotected details include information about people’s jobs and addresses.

4. Europeans have worse data-protection problems than America.

5. In Europe, the law says that companies must have procedures to look at how to protect data.

6. In Japan, companies don’t have to tell the public if there are any problems with data security.

Ex 3.3. Исправьте числа в соответствии с текстом.

1. Thieves stole data from 4,000 40,000,000 credit card accounts in Atlanta, USA.

2. More than $50,000,000,000 __________ was stolen by data theft.

3. Approximately 500,000,000 __________ people may have their personal details unprotected.

4. Europe began to take data protection seriously over ten __________ years ago.

5. The 1985 __________ European Union directive helps to protect data.

V Ex 5.1. Прочитайте текст и ответьте на опросы:

1) Sandra Ravell names three kinds of people who need to manage large amounts of information. Who are they?

2) Why is it important to manage information well?
Lots of people have to manage large amounts of information. You may be a manager, a secretary, or a student. When you have information that you may want to use in the future, you have to store it where you can find it again.

The first step is to decide how to structure your filing system. Ask yourself: What are the main categories of information that I deal with? Then divide them into sub-categories.

The second step is to create files for each kind of material. Give each file a name. Ask yourself: Is this name helpful when I want that file again?

The third step is to arrange your files for easy access. Ask yourself: Which files do I use often? Which are important? Put these files at the front of the filing area. Or on a computer, create a short-cut to those files.

Finally, keep your filing system up-to-date. Delete or throw away old material. File new information immediately in the right place. And review your system often. Ask yourself: Does this system work for me? Can I organize it better?

Finding information takes time. A good filing system can save you a lot of time.
