Data breaches in the United States are on the rise as hackers continue to become more sophisticated at stealing consumer data from companies. Although this new threat is now well known in the business world, many companies still refuse to implement the data security measures necessary to protect their customers’ private information.
As a result, high profile data breaches continue to occur and compromise the private information for thousands of customers who patronize businesses with insecure data systems. Private information that is often stolen by hackers includes:
- Social security numbers
- Names
- Addresses
- Birthdays
- Credit and debit card numbers
- Bank account numbers
- Passwords
- Password related security questions needed for “two-step” authentication
- Medical information
It is no longer a secret that hackers are willing to go to any length to access private information. Companies big and small have a duty to protect the private information that their customers entrust them with. The attorneys at Feder Law Firm are seasoned litigators able to navigate the complex legal landscape surrounding data breaches.
