Stratfor specializes in “strategic intelligence on global business, economic, security and geopolitical affairs,”

It appears Stratfor failed to encrypt any of its credit card information, despite promises “to maintain safeguards to protect the security of these servers and your personally identifiable information,” according to its privacy policy.”

I just wonder when will corporations and their executives start being held criminally liable for such egregious security blunders? Until then, there is very little reason for many of them to change….just my two pennies. Sales point is that no one is safe and all should at least entertain a conversation with you about your security solutions, right?

Happy New Year.
