Businesses still plagued by data breaches

Posted on December 11, 2009 by Dissent

An article by Jackie Noblett includes references to some recent breach notifications affecting Massachusetts residents that I do not recall ever seeing covered in the media:

  • Three separate breaches at State Street Corp. affecting 42 Massachusetts residents involved State Street employees accidentally sending personal information of a customer to the wrong client or financial adviser and a Web site glitch that disclosed account information to the wrong customer.
  • An outside attack on Lexington-based Scottish Rite Charities Web server that, unbeknownst to the nonprofit, held the credit card information of 481 customers, including 47 Massachusetts residents.
  • A criminal case involving a former human-resources employee of 1-800-East West Mortgage in Marlborough and Access TCA Inc. in Whitinsville who allegedly took employee data from both companies and e-mailed it to his personal e-mail account.

Noblett reports that the state received 807 breach notifications for the period November 1, 2007 (when its notification law went into effect) and October 31, 2009.

No, You Can’t Buy a Post or an Interview

This site does not accept sponsored posts or link-back arrangements. Inquiries about either are ignored.

And despite what some trolls may try to claim: DataBreaches has never accepted even one dime to interview or report on anyone. Nor will DataBreaches ever pay anyone for data or to interview them.
