Hell to Pay for Data Security Breaches?

by Editors on May 20, 2005

When a top government official uses the expression "somebody has got to pay", you can be pretty sure of two things: (1) it’s probably not going to be the government, and (2) it’s probably going to involve your company sooner or later.  Recent comments by Orson Swindle, a commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission are no exception to this rule.  InternetNews.com reports part of his comments as follows: "While politicians raise hell about identity theft, what we’re really talking about is the failure to protect valuable currency," Swindle said.
"Corporate boards better start paying attention, because they haven’t been." Be forewarned – additional scrutiny, regulation and "hell" are on the way.
