A bad week for security at Apple.

Apple computers are considered top of the line in security.  Most Apple users do not use Anti-Virus software because there is typically no need.  With such a stellar reputation in security of their products, you would think that would follow in the day to day operations of their company, apparently not.  Apple has, yet again, lost another prototype Iphone in San Francisco ( in a bar, just like last year).   You would think there would be a policy of not taking prototype Iphones into San Franciso bars from this point forward.  Not to be outdone, In Stamford Connecticut, a customer had her computer repaired at the Genius Bar and instead of giving her the backup hard drive that they made for her, they accidentally gave her a hard drive that was a backup of the internal file server.  What did this hard drive have on it?  According to the customer it had "confidential docs, internal manuals, Apple's sales [techniques], an Apple store work checklist, products layout, time schedules, pictures and videos of Apple corporate activities that only Apple employees can see, videos of store meetings, business structure and much much much more."
