Story: Another day, another data breach

definition of breach

Most all data in commercial and government systems are “exposed” or “compromised” to one degree or another virtually all the time. Should each citizen therefore be mailed 100 breach notices every day? Legally and ethically speaking, we in the US do not have a competent definition of what is and is not a security breach. The result is confusion and excessive anxiety on the part of data holders, data subjects, legal authorities and the media. –Ben http://hack-igations.blogspot.com/2007/09/definition-of-data-security-breach.html
