ChoicePoint's Recovery
Bill Husted writes from tomorrow's Atlanta Journal-Constitution about what a difference a year has made to suburban Atlanta-based ChoicePoint.
"Before these breaches, [ChoicePoint] set a low bar for membership," said Chris Hoofnagle, senior counsel for the Electronic Privacy Information Center. Even before last year's revelations, his group had filed federal complaints about ChoicePoint's client screening.Now, he said, "ChoicePoint has made reforms that other companies have been unwilling to make. For instance, ChoicePoint has restricted the sale of Social Security numbers. ChoicePoint's competitors still sell full SSNs. It's also apparent that ChoicePoint is more carefully screening its clients."
