Iron Mountain Admits Tape Loss, Recommends Encryption

Yet another loss of confidential data reported this morning. Paul Shread writes on internetnews.com that "In a move that could fuel efforts to change data storage practices, records management giant Iron Mountain has admitted losing a customer's backup tapes and is recommending that customers begin encrypting backup tapes." Does anyone else find it disturbing that Iron Mountain is, according to it's web site, "Providing Real World Solutions"? I guess that given all the recent public disclosures of unauthorized personal data losses, you can't get much more "real world" than that.
