Comment Scary but Real (Score 1) 304
It is scary but not surprising that so much information can be hacked. The reality is that 24/7 security monitoring and research by companies and corporations will be needed forever to try and maintain security of personal information such as this. Also, there is the fact that it will still not be 100 percent secure.
However, my thoughts are that most individuals, businesses, companies, corporations and governments do not want to add this type of resource because of the tremendous cost involved. Many individual and small businesses may not be able to afford it.
Most would rather hire the person or group that says we will guarantee the security of your information data for this much. Which presentation do you think would sell in a board meeting? Here are two made up and abbreviated information briefs or sale pitches to some boards in a corporation to clarify some of my thoughts here:
"It will take many new measures, constant research, consistent new education and many resources to bring the security of this data to the safest possible levels. It will never be 100 percent secure but by maintaining this vigilance we can have some assurance of protected data."
Or
"We have some of the brilliant minds constantly researching security applications and procedures that will virtually monitor and protect your systems from any threats or breaches. The resources are implemented with user friendly GUI systems. Most of the work such as maintenance and updates will be done by the software, algorithms and bots that will assist in keeping the cost's lower but the security extremely high."
Well enough of my 2 cents for now...
