If I run short, I can make my own. :)

But all seriousness aside, our paper's business section seems to cover
them.
Maybe they've got a techie on staff.  San Diego is also very highly
wired.
So there's maybe more than average readership for this stuff.

But I was wondering if it's possible to stop an inside job.  If there is
some way to ultimately secure the data.

Hi Rocky:

You definitely seem to have to line on all the latest major database
errors.
:-)

TJX data breach now called world's largest
45.7 million cards were compromised
 
You can read the details yourself but this snip stood out:
 
The TJX case would "probably serve as a case study for computer security
and business students for years to come," said Beth Givens, director of
the San Diego-based Privacy Rights Clearinghouse. "This one could be
considered a worst-case scenario." 

One reason, Givens said, is because of TJX's disclosure late Wednesday
that it believed the hacker or hackers "had access to the decryption
tool for the encryption software utilized by TJX."
