Most common lie - "“We take your privacy and security seriously.”. About one-third of 285 data breach notifications had some variation of the same line.


So, most companies don’t care about the privacy or security of your data. They care about having to explain to their customers that their data was stolen

Most of the breaches today are the result of shoddy security over years or sometimes decades, coming back to haunt them

companies would rather just pay the fines.

  • - Target paid $18.5 million for a data breach that ensnared 41 million credit cards, compared to full-year revenues of $72 billion. 
  • - Anthem paid $115 million in fines after a data breach put 79 million insurance holders’ data at risk, on revenues that year of $79 billion. 
  • - Remember Equifax? The biggest breach of 2017 led to all talk but no action.
