Message: From GoLocalProv by GoLocalProv News Team: From big box retailers like Target to online businesses like Zappos, recent history has illustrated that major companies are susceptible to data security breaches. In the last three months alone, there have been five major instances of hacking affecting retail stores, hotel chains and Internet services. Not a new problem, instances of retail and online security breaches have been plaguing businesses since the mid-2000s, beginning with the notorious TJ Maxx case. In 2007, the Massachusetts-based store disclosed that hackers had gained access to more than 45 million credit and debit card accounts. In a similar event, Target revealed in December that 40 million customer accounts were hacked. Just last week, the popular web company Yahoo notified RI Attorney General Peter Kilmartin that Yahoo Mail users may have had their passwords compromised through a third-party application. Additionally, hospitality company White Lodging Services, whose properties include Marriott and Sheraton, announced this week that it too had been hacked. With this mind, GoLocal has compiled a list of ten major security breaches that have occurred in recent years. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/10-big-companies-with-recent-major-security-breaches
