Data breaches take many forms. Some derive from external hackers; others from malicious insiders. A third – and surprisingly large category – derive from simple carelessness. Many pose a real threat to the individuals whose personally identifiable data has been lost or stolen. Others prove on investigation to be false alarms, but the forensic costs of establishing this can be high. It’s no surprise that three of the top five fraud threats of concern to the FDIC are cyber-related.
