- BeShirtHappy, on 10/02/2008, -0/+22FTA: "90 percent of breaches go undiscovered for months" this is scary!
- Cancerkitty, on 10/02/2008, -0/+21It's funny how the percentage of breeches coming from the inside doubles in the financial and tech sectors.
- gsgdiggs, on 10/02/2008, -0/+20I just had my mortgage company contact me to let me know that my personal information has been released by a "disgruntled" employee but to take care of me they will give me a free credit report. Ridiculous!!

- prunch, on 10/02/2008, -0/+11They really need to hold onto balls
- AmyVernon, on 10/02/2008, -0/+10I know. That's really the most unnerving part.
- AmyVernon, on 10/02/2008, -0/+10OMG, you've got to be joking. That's totally frakked up.
- gberkshire, on 10/02/2008, -0/+9This is getting out of control. In the future everyone will just steal someone else's identity to survive.
- MensFitness, on 10/02/2008, -1/+9That's just scary....
- Ricochetbiscuit, on 10/02/2008, -0/+8Yeah, like the folks that have the most access to the info are the least trust worthy, or is it just the law of averages?
- badwithcomputer, on 10/02/2008, -0/+8IDK BFF JILL
- AmyVernon, on 10/03/2008, -1/+8I have no idea why the hell you wrote this, but it made me laugh, so wtf, I'll digg you up.
- SashN, on 10/03/2008, -0/+6The reason most of these breaches go unnoticed for many months is because there is very little regulation (and no enforcement) requiring the corprorations to actually DISCLOSE that there was a breach in the first place. The moment you bring in accountability, these numbers will fall across the board.
- blitzkriegpunk, on 10/03/2008, -0/+6Haha, I saw that commercial too.
- Superflks, on 10/03/2008, -5/+10i am a heron. i ahev a long neck and i pick fish out of the water w/ my beak. if you dont repost this comment on 10 other threads i will fly into your kitchen tonight and make a mess of your pots and pans
- Phughu, on 10/03/2008, -0/+4Point of order: Major industries never picked up the ball on web security to begin with.
- Gabberwok, on 10/03/2008, -0/+4These are percentages, not totals. My bet would be those systems are harder to hack into from outside since those are the two industries that (should) know something about data security. So probably a similar (or lower) level of untrustworthy employees, but a lot fewer outside breaches.
- jeremyduffy, on 10/03/2008, -0/+3Every time there's a breach, they do a cost-benefit analysis of what it would cost if they release the data versus hide it. And McCain thinks there should be less government regulation on companies...
- booyahbitch, on 10/03/2008, -0/+3??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

About halfway down the page.
I saw that picture and I wouldn't mess with that guy. - inactive, on 10/03/2008, -0/+3In the future? It's already happening, identity scam...
- gabbagabbahey, on 10/03/2008, -0/+290 percent of discovered breaches go undiscovered for months.
What's the percentage of breaches that go undiscovered? - Ryosen, on 10/03/2008, -0/+210%. In my experience, the number of companies that are proactive with security and actively monitor for intrusions is very small and I have yet to work with a single company that has 100% coverage, especially if they have in-house software development.
- Ryosen, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2A collection of what? Russian viagra? Go spam somewhere else.
- booyahbitch, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2Well...it really is according to what state/country you live in. In California and Texas, and many others now, they DO have to disclose when they are breached.
- booyahbitch, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2Gotta love CountryWide, eh?
- CorpT, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2They're our rvials.
- tvnews, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2This is happening more and more. In the UK millions of pounds worth of passports were recently stolen. Data theft is something companies and governments have not got a grip on
- Ryosen, on 10/03/2008, -0/+2That's where the real money is.

please help me to make a collection... - AmyVernon, on 10/05/2008, -0/+1@Superflks - I completely understand and do not blame you one bit.
- zonian05, on 10/03/2008, -0/+1This day was bound to come. There will always be people that will try and thrive off of someone else's success and it just so happens that technology is making it easier for people to access it. There is so much data storage going on these days to simplify company finance and for customer relationship management. Thieves want it and I think businesses are now realizing the data must be protected. Data storage was always about making it easier to access information and giving more people within a business the access, but now it is time to monitor. Security will become a very important issue as the world moves towards a digital self.
