Laptop holding Trump Tower floor plans stolen from Secret Service agent

[LesPalenik]

Laptop holding Trump Tower floor plans and Hillary Clinton email investigation info was stolen from Secret Service agent. The Secret Service agent's vehicle was parked in the driveway of her Bath Beach, Brooklyn, home, when the laptop was stolen. Sources and neighbors said the thief stepped out of a dark-colored sedan, possibly an Uber, and darted into Argentieri’s Bath Beach driveway on Thursday morning at about 3 a.m.

“It’s a very big deal,” a police source said. “There’s data on there that’s highly sensitive. They’re scrambling like mad.”

I wonder when the conspiracy theories will start and who will launch them 

But leaving a laptop with sensitive information in your car at night is quite a bonehead conduct, so will probably feed these theories even further.

Rule no. 1: Encrypt all data
Rule no. 2: Store key card in a different location, or on person, and/or include additional mandatory biometric unlocking.
Rule no. 3: Never leave laptop in car, unless for a short time while locked in vault.
Rule no. 4: Make sure that the documents are marked and traceable, in case the first lines of defense fail due to human error, and the computer's cache memory should be frequently flushed and scrubbed.

Not carrying more documents than immediately needed may help reduce the impact of a breach.

It would make sense to not store any data on the computer storage itself anyway (does it even have document storage?).

But that's unfortunately too late in this case.

Cheers,
Bart

Would have been a much better headline if it had of been both Trump and Clinton that had of been stolen and were now missing.

FACT....This is old news, today the perpetrators Schumer and Mc Connell were finally reveled by a disgruntled EX C.I.A. employee in a recent classified report with his resignation. It was said to be a scheme that had been master-minded by none other than Stephen Hawkins who at the time was consulting for a large non-profit organization in Canada. Rachel Maddow broke the story very early this morning. The full details are not known by Rachel but after decoding and reading the report carefully not to make any mistakes she claims the validity of her newly found information was in fact confirmed by Hilary herself.  Supposedly someone with female handwriting had written the whole story in code on her shower wall yesterday returning home early that night she was quite taken by the strange handwriting which exuded a scent of an exotic perfume. Rachel in a follow up interview by a Secret Service agent said she was only upset that the intruder didn't stay for a drink and sleep over.
