Third identity theft at Pfizer: 34,000 affected.

Story in Detroit News.

We have written extensively about the first two ones, but this is starting to get old. The clowns at Pfizer clearly have no way of keeping confidential data safe.

Judd Rousseau, chief operations officer of Identify Theft 911, an Arizona-based identity management company said, "While the number of data thefts is clearly on the rise, seeing a company struck three times in such a short period is rare."

One breach can happen to anyone," he said. "By the third breach you are starting to show a pattern. It wouldn't shock me if you start seeing litigation in connection to this."

We don't disagree with this assessment. Can't wait to see this in court. Uh, it happened once. Uh it happened twice. Uh, it happened three times.

Hat tip Pharmalot.
