My Vault Offered 5,000 US Flash Key Users 50% Off of Online Storage

My Vault
announced its amazement at the prolific endurance of the loss-prone,
breach-prone, and deeply uncool USB flash drive as a personal and business
document storage device.

The company urges flash drive users, a.k.a. flashers,
to reduce the risk of flashing their private or company jewels to the general
population by moving select documents to My Vault storage.

To help individuals
and businesses suffering from incidents of flashing deal with the loss of their
private data, My Vault launched its Flashing Hurts website taking a
dazzling look at the lure of flash drives and how the loss of a flash drive and
subsequent data breach affects the privacy of millions. To ease the transition
and rehabilitation from flasher to ex-flasher, the company also launched its exflasher discount campaign.

"Frankly we’re
stunned that people still carry USB flash drives in their pockets with private
sensitive information stored on them," said Cornelis de Jong COO of My Vault.
De Jong self admits he use to be a flasher. Having suffered a data breach
incident himself, he is sour when it comes to flash drives: "I had one in
2004 but inadvertently left it in a conference room thus providing the office
staff access to my last will and testament, some strategic corporate insights,
insurance information, health documents, and a few compromising toga party
pictures." Barring the occasional
use of a pen drive for unsecured and quick data release, de Jong has pretty
much been without a flash drive for years and cannot recall when last he
flashed someone.

Flash drives have been particularly popular for users with
load-it-up, carry-it-with, need-it-or-not storage needs, and have come a long
way from just being old-school portable stiffy disk replacements. Today, while
certainly expensive to purchase, storage space on larger capacity flash drives
can be as much as 265GB. Consumers can also buy secured flash drives with
password protection and encryption. Flash drives do however present a
significant security challenge for individuals and corporations alike. Secured
or not, flash drives can easily be left behind, misplaced, stolen,  and smuggled, with neither the individual nor
the corporation being wiser of an information or data breach before it’s too
late. Once flashers experience a flashing incident and subsequent data breach,
whether intentional or not, the end result often ranges from a feeling of
embarrassment, sadness, loss of interest, anxiety, and a failure to perform to
job-loss, profit-loss, and years of live-down-the legacy therapy and
reputation-rebuilding for the individual and business alike. If you or a loved
one are habitual flashers, struggles with flashing, or has been a victim a
flasher, go to www.flashinghurts.com.

CEO of My Vault, David Thompson said: "We are very concerned about the
careless, frequent and unsecure storage of personal and business information on
flash drives. Lawyers, accountants, teachers, parents, couples, baby boomers,
large corporations, small businesses, real-estate agents, estate planners – you
name them, they may not admit it at first, but when pressed will cave and
acknowledge it – have all flashed their private or company jewels. It’s not that uncommon but no one talks about
it. We understand: flashing hurts everyone. We urge flash drive users to start
the rehabilitation process and get their sensitive information off a USB stick
on onto My Vault storage and join the ‘exflasher’ movement today –
you can thank us later."

To ease the transition and rehabilitation from flasher to
ex-flasher, My Vault launched its "exflasher" discount campaign. With
its "exflasher" campaign, the company invites 5,000 USB flash drive
users needing private secure storage for personal or business documents to try
My Vault storage and thus safeguard their digital jewels at
www.myvaultstorage.com.

Five thousand flashers wanting to become ex-flashers
can get five fifty percent off months on 2GB,  5GB, 10GB, or 25GB of storage. My Vault urges
flash drive users to lower their risk of a data breach. To get 50% off for 5 months on 2GB, 5GB, 10GB, or 25GB’s of storage, flashers

business documents onto My Vault and off a flash drive thus starting the
rehabilitation process. The exflasher discount redemption starts on

Does My Vault think there is a need for USB flash drives at
all? "Sure" said COO De Jong: "Every society has their
exhibitionists. Unsecure flash drives are ideal for storing random unimportant
digital junk. Secure flash drives are ideal if theft, loss of data, water
damage, and heat exposure are typically of no consequence. All flash drives are
best avoided to get rid of that "where is it I’m freaking out" feeling."
