Qualified as data leeches
At the second German BigBrotherAwards, two incumbent federal ministers are among the winners: Interior Minister Otto Schily and Economics Minister Werner Müller. Further awards go to a local school (the Hans-Ehrenberg-Gymnasium in Bielefeld), to the software company ProtectCom, and to RealNetworks. One award has a particularly lasting effect: It goes to the consulting company Informa and uncovers the practice of credit scoring, which has almost completely averted the public gaze so far.
