Disney Stockholders

Joined your club! We got one today too!
Never win anything, but the only box that went missing just so happened to have our unfo! On the plus side the box has been missing since Feb. and all is OK so far! Maybe they will find the dang thing!!

Having worked for a very large stock transfer record keeping agency for 30 years, it happens. It could very well be that the tape is just misplaced or mislabeled. It happens. Most backups end up in a cave (off-site location) for safety purposes in case disaster recovery is required. Some tape handling is done by data robots, but a lot of it is still done by hand. Mistakes happen.

I realize that it is unsettling to hear this news. I am also a Disney stockholder, but I'm not going to worry about it. Since BNY Mellon is going to pay for a monitoring service for shareholders, there is really nothing else they can do. It is very possible that the missing tapes will be found in the future. The same basic thing happened a number of times where I worked and it always worked out okay in the end.

Got the letter today. Just another thing to worry about huh?

I just signed up for the credit monitoring service, better to safe than sorry.

Still no letter for me.

Guess what we got in today's mail? So the letters are still going out (our's was dated 6/13). We'll sign up for the 24-mo credit monitoring and hope it's all for naught.

I also received a letter today. I already have a credit monitoring service, so I'm not planning on calling.

Got one too and signed up. It'll be a good deal for all of us I'm thinking. The likelyhood that a lost laptop can yield data that will hurt you is pretty remote. Lost backup tapes - almost infinitely remote. The tapes will not be in a format that a hacker can just go home and read. And the tape drives used by a large company are not even readily available at even a small company let alone to hackers. A lot of things would have to fall perfectly in place for any of those tapes to even be read by somebody let alone be used.

Guess what was waiting for me when I got home--that's right the "letter of doom"--dated June 13th. I've read it several times, signed up for the free two-year (!) credit report monitoring and cursed--alot! LOL The letter says that the company could not account for "one of several boxes of data back-up tapes". Maybe they just got misnumbered or mislabeled? But since the "incident" (their word, not mine) happened back in February, I think we should be ok. You can be reassured though that I will follow their advice and be "vigilant" and keep an eye on my credit report.

No letter here, so far.

Got mine yesterday as well. I'm glad others got this as mentioned earlier about apossible scam. Our CC was compromised back in October while we were at the Poly, they caught the guy. Now this letter, I figure here we go again. Glad I visit the DIS on a regular basis. Will be calling for the Credit Monitoring Service tomorrow.
