Have you seen the Globe routing slips today?

Mark Jurkowitz relays the news that the Globe and the Worcester Telegram & Gazette included customer credit-card information for some 240,000 customers on routing slips attached to newspaper bundles sent to stores and delivery people (the T&G may have also inadvertently disclosed 1,100 subscribers' checking-account information):

... The incident took place when discarded internal reports were inadvertently recycled as the paper for printing the routing slips. ... Representatives of the Globe and Telegram & Gazette are recovering as many of the routing slips as can be located, although most of the slips are likely to have been discarded. To date there have been no reports of misuse of the payment card data, although the newspapers will continue to monitor the situation. ...

I can honestly say: Not my fault.
