Breaking news, well we thought that it could not get any worse. As I have presented in several security seminars the scale of some of these hacking and Identity thefts. The number here is staggering.
Here is a sample from my Security Seminars.
On December 23, RBS Worldpay, a subsidiary of Citizens Financial Group Inc., said a breach of its payment systems may have affected more than 1.5 million people.
In March 2008, Hannaford Brothers Co. disclosed that a breach of its payment systems -- also aided by malicious software -- compromised at least 4.2 million credit and debit card accounts
In early 2007, TJX Companies Inc., the parent of retailers Marshalls and TJ Maxx said a number of breaches over a three-year period exposed more than 45 million credit and debit card numbers.
In 2005, a breach at payment card processor CardSystems Solutions jeopardized roughly 40 million credit and debit card accounts
and NOW:

From Fox News:
"Three men have been indicted in New Jersey in an identity theft case that the Justice Department is labeling as the largest in history.
Authorities say more than 130 million credit and debit card numbers were stolen in a corporate data breach involving five different companies." |
