| Verizon Fined $140,000 After Electrocution Death | -17 | 2012-03-19 00:00:00 | Verizon was fined more than $140,000 — the maximum allowed by law — for safety violations after the 2011 electrocution death of a technician in Brooklyn, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced on Monday. A spokesman for Verizon, John Bonomo, said in a statement: “Verizon regrets the unfortunate incident that took the life of Mr. Lalima. “Verizon’s culture of indifference puts profits over workers’ safety,” said Chris Shelton, vice president of the Communications Workers of America District 1. However, Verizon does not believe that the incident resulted from any failure of Verizon to follow any requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act or any other safety requirement. The administration found that Verizon repeatedly failed to abide by safety rules in place to protect its workers, and issued 10 citations against the company. | VZ | {"Hannah Miet"} | 78 |
| Verizon Fined by District for Chalk-on-Sidewalk Advertising | -7 | 2006-03-31 00:00:00 | The District said yesterday that it fined Verizon Communications Inc. $1,050 for stenciling orange-red chalk ads on sidewalks across the city to promote its Yellow Pages.

Mary Myers, a spokeswoman for the District Department of Public Works, said the "guerrilla" marketing campaign broke D.C. rules. Banks said this was the first time Verizon, which spends vast sums on TV and print advertising, had sprayed chalk on sidewalks as a marketing technique. Verizon spokeswoman Vanessa Banks said the company asked the contractor who placed the ads to clean them up as soon as it learned of the violation on Wednesday. | VZ | {"Arshad Mohammed"} | 79 |

| Organized Crime Behind a Majority of Data Breaches | -31 | 2009-04-15 00:00:00 | "This information was recently used by several entities to discover security breaches that were otherwise undetected," VISA wrote. Forensics investigators at Verizon Business, a firm hired by major companies to investigate breaches, responded to roughly 100 confirmed data breaches last year involving roughly 285 million consumer records. A string of data breaches orchestrated principally by a handful of organized cyber-crime gangs translated into the loss of hundreds of millions of consumer records last year, security experts say. The size and scope of the breaches, some of which have previously not been disclosed, illustrate the extent that organized cyber thieves are methodically targeting computer systems connected to the global financial network. In all, breaches at financial institutions were responsible for 93 percent of all such records compromised last year, Verizon reported. | VZ | {"Brian Krebs"} | 541 |
