I was reading about the hack of the international telecoms giant AT&T last week, but I noticed the headline of this article about it on the BBC today, that clearly sums up the hack.
Hackers steal call records of ‘nearly all’ AT&T customers – BBC
It is the ‘nearly all’ that shows the size of this data breach and the amount of information AT&T failed to protect. The number – about 109million customers.
A bit less to the shareholders and a bit more on the cyber security budget.
Your Takeaway
Every organisation needs a budget for cyber security that reflects the risk their information to their information, systems and operations.
