Cybersecurity Month 2017 got off to an appropriate start with the announcement that the Yahoo breach from 2013 was much worse than previously reported.
As if 1/3 of all accounts compromised wasn’t bad enough, we now know that every Yahoo account at the time was breached. Three billion accounts. Every single one.
This news comes on top of the continued unfolding of the frustrating Equifax breach situation. Financial histories for 145 million Americans compromised? Check. Sketchy executive stock sale right after the compromise? Check. Denials? Blame-throwing? Government investigation? Check check check.
Whether you’re on the consumer side of any of these breaches or on the business side, a data breach is a huge headache, to put it lightly.
Wouldn’t it be better if it could all be avoided?
That’s the point behind Cybersecurity Month: What do you need to do to keep your company’s – and your customers’ – information and data safe from internet predators?
Protecting Your Data Protects Your Business
