Iirekhodi zonyango ze-elektroniki ze-20,000 zezigulane zegumbi likaxakeka kwiSibhedlele saseStanford, kubandakanywa namagama kunye neekhowudi zokuxilonga, zifakwe kwiwebhusayithi yezorhwebo, isibhedlele sichaze ngoLwesine.
Ulwazi lomntu malunga nezigulane ezibonwe phakathi kwe-Matshi 1 kunye ne-31 Aug., i-2009, isusiwe kwiwebhusayithi kwaye uphando luyaqhubeka, ngokutsho kweSibhedlele saseStanford uGary Migdol.
Kodwa ukuphulwa okumangalisayo - okubangelwa ngumthengisi ongaphantsi komthengisi, oye wathatha uxanduva - uphakamisa imibuzo malunga nobumfihlo bolwazi lwezonyango njengoko ludlula ezandleni ezininzi.
Ngesinye isihlandlo, yatyhila ukuxilongwa kwengqondo kwesigulana saseSanta Clara.
Ulwazi olukhutshiweyo lukwabandakanya neenombolo zerekhodi yezonyango, iinombolo ze-akhawunti yesibhedlele, iintlawulo zamatyala kunye nokwamkelwa kwigumbi likaxakeka kunye nemihla yokukhutshwa. Ikhadi letyala kunye neenombolo zoKhuseleko lweNtlalo azifakwanga.
Idatha ifakwe kwiwebhusayithi ebizwa ngokuba yi-Student of Fortune, ecela iibhidi zokuphendula imibuzo yomsebenzi wasekhaya. Isazisi somntu othumele idatha - kwi-spreadsheet eqhotyoshelwe kwifayile - ayizange ibhengezwe.
I-subcontractor ye-Woodland Hills-based kumthengisi, iiNkonzo ze-Multi Specialties Collection, zenze i-spreadsheet njengenxalenye yohlalutyo lwe-bill-and-payment analysis for Stanford, ngokutsho kukaMigdol. Umthengisi akazange abuyise iifowuni ngexesha elibekiweyo.
Ekuqapheleni ukophulwa kwe-22 ka-Agasti, isibhedlele sanqumamisa ishishini kunye nenkampani.
Iirekhodi zonyango zephepha nazo zinokubiwa okanye zifunyanwe kwiitoti zenkunkuma kunye neDumpsters, utshilo uBryan S. Cline, usekela mongameli kunye neHealth Information Trust Alliance, inkampani engenzi nzuzo eseka izikhokelo zabucala kubaboneleli bezempilo. Kodwa njengoko iirekhodi zisiya kwifomathi ye-elektroniki, ukophulwa okukhulu kuvela njengengxaki ekhulayo, utshilo.
Abathengisi beqela lesithathu babenetyala kwikota ye-11 yeerekhodi zonyango eziye zaphulwa ukususela ngo-2009, wathi.
Aba bathengisi, kude nesibhedlele, banokungaziqondi izibophelelo zabo, utshilo uCline. Ngelixa kufuneka kukhuselwe imfihlo yesigulana phantsi komthetho womanyano, abayiqondi intsingiselo yoko, utshilo. Basenokuba abanaye nomntu wokhuseleko.
Izivumelwano ezityikitywa zizibhedlele nabathengisi zibanika ilungelo lokubuyisela naziphi na iindleko ukuba iirekhodi zophulwa. Kodwa khange isebenze, utshilo uCline. Ngumzekelo osekelwe ekuthembeni — ‘Ndiyakuthemba ukuba wenze into elungileyo kuba ndinokukumangalela.’ Akukho nto iqinisekisayo ukuba umntu wesithathu unokulukhusela ulwazi.
U-Amber Yoo, isithethi sePrivacy Rights Clearinghouse, umbutho waseSan Diego ozinikele ekukhuseleni ubumfihlo babathengi baseMelika, uvumile.
Isibhedlele sisenokuba sibaqeqeshe bonke abasebenzi baso, kodwa umzuzu nje ubashiya baye komnye umntu, banikezela ngolawulo, utshilo.
Ingxelo yezempilo ixabisa malunga ne-$ 50 kwimarike emnyama, xa kuthelekiswa ne-$ 1 kuphela yenombolo yoKhuseleko lweNtlalo, utshilo uCline.
Kungenxa yokuba inokuthengiswa kubantu abangenayo i-inshurensi yezempilo kwaye isetyenziselwa ukufaka amabango enkohliso, utshilo.
Kukho umngcipheko wezempilo ukuba omnye umntu, ozenza wena, ufumana izigulo zakhe zongezwa kwirekhodi yakho. Kukwakho namathuba okuba ungagqithiselwa emsebenzini, ukuba imbali yakho yezempilo ityhilwe ngexesha lokukhangelwa kweWebhu ngumntu oza kuba ngumqeshi.
Naliphi na ixesha ubeka ulwazi olubuthathaka kwisiseko sedatha ye-elektroniki, ungenisa umngcipheko, utshilo uYoo. Kwaye xa iirekhodi zikwi-intanethi, kunzima kakhulu ukuzicima ngokwenyani. Kukho iiwebhusayithi apho unokujonga kwiinguqulelo ezigciniweyo zamaphepha eWebhu.
Abantu baseMelika balindele ukuba oogqirha kunye nezibhedlele basebenzise iirekhodi zabo kuphela ngemvume, utshilo uGqr. Imithetho ekhoyo ayinamandla ngokwaneleyo ukukhusela ulwazi lwezempilo olubuthathaka lwabantu baseMelika. Iinkqubo zempilo zombane zanamhlanje azikhuselekanga okanye zithembekile.
I-Stanford yazisa izigulana ezichaphazelekayo kwisithuba seentsuku ezine zokufunyanwa kwaye yalungiselela neenkonzo zokhuseleko lwezazisi zasimahla.
Kodwa amalungu osapho anjengoDiana Dobson waseSanta Clara, orekhodi lakhe lonyana laposwayo, athi, Lo mbandela awunanto yakwenza nobusela bezazisi.
Kufuneka babe nabantu abakwizikhundla ezinoxanduva abanokuthi baphendule inkxalabo yezigulane ezophulwe ulwazi lwabo, utshilo.
Naziphi na izigulane ezifumene ileta kwaye zixhalabile zingafowunela i-855-731-6016 ngoncedo.
