More specifically, are we seeing companies breached due to their (obvious?) security flaws, hackers getting better at what they do, or a combination of both?
What is the future of security for these large companies that we put our trust into that our data is safe?
This will keep happening, no one knows how to make hardened IT infrastructure while also letting 65 year old Suzie in HR stay productive, so we’ll always have loopholes. The best thing you can do to protect yourself is to use fewer cloud services, but obviously that has limits, you can’t cancel your phone plan just because they may get hacked. You could use more encrypted services like Signal where a hacker wouldn’t get anything useful even if they broke in.
