Back from the annual Privacy.Security.Risk 2015 meeting in Las Vegas. Three days of intense review on cases, responses and trends. Looking at the case studies of breaches, it is interesting this headline is so fresh. There were many data reports from Bloomberg, law firms, security firms with data on the level of intrusion.  I am curious on how the fact pattern will roll out on this and Scottrade’s response.  The PII compromised could be worse but 4.6 million records seems like a healthy sum. Seems the privacy business is a growth industry, as is the malefactor industry.  Machine learning systems do things for us we no longer care to be bothered with and with all they are doing, I am unsure if we will even “notice” they are there, or if we are care trading privacy for utility, once again.  http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2015/10/02/scottrade-broker-hacker-breach-46-million/73233356/
