Class Action Suit Filed after T-Mobile and Microsoft Lose Data T-Mobile Sidekick Users Store on their Phones
,----[ Quote ]
| A class action lawsuit places the spotlight on T-Mobile, subsidiary
| of Deutsche Telekom (NYSE:DT) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) for losing
| most all the contacts, appointments, photos and other data stored by
| as many as one million users of the popular T-Mobile
| Sidekick line of mobile phones.
|
| The T-Mobile Sidekick data service went down in early October and then
| T-Mobile admitted that Microsoftâs Danger, Inc. subsidiary, which is
| responsible for the Sidekick data service, lost most all of the personal
| data it was entrusted with protecting, and that it
| was highly unlikely it would recover any data.

T-Mobile Sidekick Outage Raises Questions On Cloud Security
,----[ Quote ]
| Lobel said that going forward, responsibility
| would have to be determined on a legal front as
| cloud services gain more traction with customers.
| And ultimately, he said, the company trusted to
| directly manage customer data should be held
| responsible for its loss, whether it's outsourced
| or not.
|
| "Customers look to (companies) for protection of
| their information. Customer look to the companies
| they do business with," Lobel said. "At the end
| of the day, you can outsource a function, but you
| cannot outsource responsibility."
