Cyber Criminals Caught; Now There Are Only Thousands More.

I read in the Boston Globe this morning that the almost a dozen men were arrested by the feds in connection with several of the data breach cases that we have been hearing about over the last few years.  The alleged cyber thieves were also indicated in several more cases that I had not been aware of.  As I throw another punch at the dead horse lying on the ground, let me say once again that cyber crime is only going to get worse and ALL businesses must examine their own potential risk.  Cyber thieves are tech-savvy, cunning, and most of all very creative.  If they experience good security when attempting one of their methods, they just move on to another strategy or direction.  They do not just say, oh well and retire, they adjust and innovate.  Come to think of it, if these were public companies, their stock would be smoking hot and management would always get great bonuses!  Oh, they get those bonuses anyway, but I think you get the point.
I’m keeping my friend the dead horse around for the time being, so stay tuned for an in depth report on cyber crime and risk management strategies to fight it.  It’s not going away my friends!
