Editor's Note

Dear readers,

 

News this week that Chinese hackers stole millions of medical records has got me thinking about cybersecurity. A Bloomberg article dug deeper into the hackers’ possible motivation and to no one’s surprise the most likely theory is that the data was stolen to be sold on the black market to identity thieves.

 

With the threat of identity theft likely to increase, I’d be interested in knowing what your organizations are doing combat data breaches. Let me know.

 

Thanks for reading!
