The Security box, podcast 203: Data breach victims up 1k percent thanks to a study

The technology blog and podcast and TSB

What is the number of percentage points that we recently saw when it came to our data being pilfered as victims go? What email seems to be making a comeback that we've not seen in a number of years, yet a customer of mine has gotten two of them within days of each other? What might be the subject matter of these emails and what are they trying to get this customer to do? Hint, its something we talked about probably in 2018 when The Mix and the JRN got these types of emails. Besides all of these questions, we're going to cover the landscape and some of what we've blogged or spotted in the news. We hope that you enjoy the program, and thanks for listening!

What percentage of victims are up when it comes to Data Breaches?

We blogged our thoughts on this topic, as well as linked to the original Article thanks to MalwareBytes. The number is staggering, although it would be a lot less percentage wise except for a couple of breaches as part of a Q2 report. If you guessed close to 500 percent, you're not far off, that number is only there at 490% without the breaches at Snowflake and other companies. The correct answer is 1,000% and we played the article as part of Saturday's Throwback Saturday Night program. Here is the link to their RSS.
