Breach Description:
A former store manager reports that she worked at several Family Video
stores and every one of them stored confidential information regarding
employees and job applicants in public restrooms.

"Officials at the corporate office for Family Video said they are
fixing the problem and it is against their policy to keep private
information in boxes in the bathroom."

"They also said this is not just a problem in Pennsylvania, but at
Family Video stores in other states as well, and they are making sure
to notify all stores so the private information is not stored where
the public has access."

"Officials at Family Video did report the boxes in the Johnstown
location were sitting on a shelf 8 feet from the ground, and in order
for anyone to gain access to the files they would likely have to stand
on something to get into them."
