Is it the fact that I work in a security group and this stuff naturally flows through my inbox or has the last week been a stolen data fiesta?
Hotels.com customers data is stolen and Greg is MAD (WARNING! Don't make Greg mad, it's not pretty. Well, sometimes it's humorous to watch... If you have the opportunity to rib him a little bit someday in person just bring up how slow Microsoft Virtual Server is and you'll see traces of the mad Greg. Mad level 3 out of 10). Anywhooo, Greg not only rants about how pathetic security is in the industry but offers some practical advice on knowing how secure a company is by their certifications. Good stuff.
Data lost on all 2.2 million (nearly all) active duty, reserve and guard members.
Veterans fight back and sue for data lost/stolen (this is what we need to wake the industry up).
Alex Scoble sent an article stating that cleaning up data breach costs 15x more than encryption. No joke? Go figure. But why do that? That's pro-active and not re-active. Fire-fight mode is sooo much more fun though. |
