Yahoo Hacker Wake-up Call WILL FAIL (Data Breach)
A hacking group known as D33Ds Company leaked about 453,000 hacked email addresses and passwords of Yahoo Voices users in order to send a “wake up call” about poor data security practices at Yahoo. The information posted online was NOT restricted to YahooMail login credentials, but included Gmail, Hotmail, Aol and Yahoo user information. In the past few weeks, there have been similar breaches at LinkedIn, eHarmony, Formspring, Nvidia, and AndroidForum. Whazzzup?
Corporations are clearly ignoring warnings that are now commonplace from privacy and security experts: protect your customer data or lose stock value, subscribers and ultimately, your brand reputation.
The average business will NOT take responsibility for preventing a similar breach of their data until AFTER THEY GET HIT. Which is why 95% of companies will hit the snooze button on the wake-up call.
