It’s been a busy weekend. Since last week, we’ve seen annoucements from PF Chang’s, AT&T Mobility, and Domino’s Pizza, all with varying levels of disclosure. PF Chang’s looks to be yet another payment card breach while Domino’s Pizza was a privacy-related breach in Europe (no cardholder data apparently disclosed). But the AT&T Mobility one is the kicker with an unknown number of customers impacted, and the big no-no is on this one—social security numbers. Lovely!
All that aside, because at this point none of this is really exciting or unexpected, I want to direct your attention to a short and sweet blog post from Mike Rothman who discusses a comparison (with reference) to emergency managers and information security professionals. It’s well worth the three minutes. It also goes back to the concept of balancing prevention, detection, and response budget allocations (and effort) to ensure that when the event occurs, you are able to detect it with enough lead time to orderly respond to it.
