Personal Data for 3.9 Million Lost in Transit - New York Times: "CitiFinancial has begun sending letters to all 3.9 million customers advising them of the loss and offering them 90 days of free enrollment in a credit-monitoring service. Other institutions with data-loss problems have also offered free credit-monitoring services, some for as long as a year."
I think that 90 days is a joke and that a couple of years is the least that CitiFinancial should offer, since identity theft is not a temporary condition.
Since it is not mentioned in this article, I am assuming that this data was transported in an un-encrypted form.
