It just goes to show you security controls in the software isn't enough, it needs to be backed into the process as well.

The latest massive data leak comes from Certegy Check Services, a Florida company that provides check-processing services. Personal information, including credit card and bank data, on 2.3 million people was stolen, with the company blaming a "rogue employee." They say a former database administrator stole the data, and sold it to a data broker, which then sold it to direct-marketing agencies, which used the info to solicit the people by phone and mail.
