Addiction to Farmville can get you fired

Most of the Facebook status updates or newsfeeds I see over my network involve someone looking for something or finding something in Farmville, and would like to share it with me. For example, "Christina was farming when she found a Wandering Stallion! Christina wants her friends to help the Wandering Stallion by giving him shelter for the night".

I guess you've heard about some of the privacy breaches of the past few years. You know, the one where a major Canadian bank faxed personal information on thousands of customers to two random businesses in West Virginia and Quebec, or where the public officials left work laptops or memory keys unattended with unencrypted private data on citizens and they were stolen, and on and on. What's happening? Why are these accidents popping up so frequently now?
