Data Breach Speaker: Organized Crime + Vendor Error
Here’s a statistic that’ll get your attention! 285 million records were compromised in 2008 according to a new data breach study from Verizon Business. The report claims that organized crime is responsible for a large increase in the number of breached corporate electronic records.
The report of industries affected by data breach shows that Financial Services was the major gainer in 2008. That industry doubled its percentage of data breach to 30% while Retail is still the most affected industry (barely) at 31%. The shift to data breach in Financial Services will affect all of us more drastically.
