Ernst and Young should go ahead and pony up for its own suite of transparency services. The accounting firm failed to 
disclose a high profile loss of customer data until being confronted by The Register.

Ernst and Young has lost a laptop containing data such as the social security numbers of its customers. One of the 
people affected by the data loss appears to be Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy, who was notified that his social 
security number and personal information have been compromised. While pushing all out transparency for its customers, 
Ernst and Young failed to cop to the security breach until contacted by us.
