"It would be very difficult to link this information and determine they
were actual Social Security numbers in the first place," he said.
Yeah unless the perpatrator uses said laptop to read the news!
"The laptop was not password-protected and the data was not encrypted,
officials have said."
So my guess is that this is positive spin to save the company
embarassment.
For "almost impossible" read "possible"

"Employee names and partial and full Social Security numbers were on the
computer's hard drive, though Rubinger said it would be almost
impossible for the thief to decipher the information because it was
streamed together."
It could be a network sniffer capture or data stream capture they are
referring to. Replication traffic and incremental logs throw the data
together in sequential order so multiple elements are streamed together,
it's pretty damn hard to decipher. That's my guess.

Hi everyone,
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13437723/from/ET/
refers to a laptop being stolen and that the data was unreadable because
it was streamed together.
What are the refering to when they say streamed together?
Any links would be helpful.
Then, how do we test such a feature? any tools?
Thanks - killy
