SUMMARY - Risks of Data Breaches

A healthcare provider suffers a breach exposing medical records of 10 million patients. Years later, victims discover their medical histories used for insurance discrimination and identity theft, long after the news cycle moved on and the company paid a modest fine. A financial services breach compromises credit card numbers, social security numbers, and account credentials. Affected individuals spend months disputing fraudulent charges, restoring credit, and dealing with cascading problems as stolen information enables new breaches.
