Now this is a good find!
Today I have an article for you examining the 11 largest data breaches in recent history.
At the beginning of October, a defective hard drive containing the personal information of 70 million U.S. military personnel was returned to a contractor for repair and recycling … without being erased first.“This is the single largest release of personally identifiable information by the government ever,” National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) IT manager Hank Bellomy told Wired.com
But the exposure of 70 million records is only the second (maybe even third) largest loss of personal data by an organization or company in the past five years. Here’s a look back at the eleven largest data breaches in recent history.
Take a few minutes to read this article this afternoon and pray your PII data wasn't stolen along with the data in the article :P
Good luck with that Paranoia!!! :D
Oh and remember for you managers out there ... If your I.T. department needs money for those quirky geeky gadgets for security; it's worth it.
