Data Breach Wars



On Monday I’m giving a presentation on data breaches at the SANS Encryption Summit (only a couple of hours after I keynote the DLP Summit).

I decided to have a little fun, and created a Star Wars opening crawl listing every public data breach in the Attrition.org database since 2000. Needless to say, it gets a little more crowded after 2005 (when people started reporting under California S.B. 1386, even though it went into effect in July of 2003).

It’s over 6 minutes long, which even George Lucas wouldn’t subject an audience to.

And if you’re down at the event, drop me a line…

    Well, it isn’t as good as your Rothman impersonation, but I was amused.
