How times have changed. Five years ago, most people had never heard of a data breach. Two years ago, everyone was talking about the Target data breach.

However, the significant legal and financial consequences of a data breach and the failure to notify the public have never been greater. State attorneys general, the Department of Health and Human Services, credit card companies and banks are all actively enforcing laws, regulations and contractual obligations to recoup the millions of dollars lost in data breaches.
