October is one of my favorite times of the year. (And no, not just because of the Pumpkin-flavored coffee/donuts/muffins at Dunkin, though that certainly helps). But for the last several years, our firm has been producing our Fall Webinar series.

Over on our sister blog, the Employment Law Letter (you’ve subscribed to that one, right?), my colleague Marc Lombardi has word of a potential $17B penalty for potential violations of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act.
The case arises from the allegations that White Castle required employees to scan their fingerprint in order to access
Twas the day before the night before Christmas

The first sign that my wife’s identity and my own were under attack came innocently enough.
