I work in Boston as an Interaction Design professional for Digitas LLc, an interactive marketing agency. Most of my project work includes building or revising web sites for Digitas' clients. The topics and comments in this blog reflect my experiences and personal opinions, and not necessarily those of my employer.
During the past 15 years, I have built several web sites covering a variety of interests. I also perform webmaster duties for several Boston-area organizations, including my neighborhood civic association.
This blog serves as a chronicle of my experiences and issues related to identity theft, identity fraud, and corporate responsibility about a data breach. I hope that this blog encourages discussion between people who share similar interests, have have experienced identity theft, and/or identity fraud.
From 1986 to 1988, I worked as a Marketing Manager for Mead Data Central, which at that time was a division of Mead Corporation and produced the Lexis-Nexis brand of information services.
From 1988 to 1991, I worked for Lotus Development Corporation in Cambridge, Massachusetts within the One Source Information Services unit. In 1995, IBM Corporation acquired Lotus. In February 2007, IBM had a data breach, which exposed my sensitive personal data. I use this blog to explore the events and issues about data breaches, data security, and corporate responsibility -- plus my experiences dealing with IBM's data breach and the risks it created.
From 1992 to 1997, I performed business and economics research at Baker Library at the Harvard Business School. In 1997, I joined the Strategic Interactive Group, which was later renamed as Digitas LLc.
