Stories like this make me want to retire early. Most bosses just aren't willing to pay for sufficient cybersecurity.
My boss encrypts nothing and leaves all of the machines switched on overnight, every night.
We got burgled once and someone made off with some postcards and £5 in loose change, overlooking access to a vast trove of customers highly exposing personal, financial, medical and legal documents that has never been purged for over a decade.
He didn't even change anything afterwards!
To be fair, the common thief isn't into that sort of burglary. They're looking for something they can pawn or use themselves
Especially something that can be anonymised and moved quickly. For all they know, the computers are heavy/locked down, and may be tracked.
Is your boss Denholm Reynholm?
