SC Magazine reported today that the Davidson Companies, a Montana-based financial firm disclosed “one of its databases, containing the names and Social Security numbers of 226,000 current and past clients, was illegally accessed ‘by a third party through a sophisticated network intrusion.’” In response the firm “took its public website offline after learning of the intrusion, hired a security consulting firm to investigate the theft and notified the major credit-reporting bureaus after learning about the incident.”

We keep beating the drum at BreachBytes that enterprises need to have a response and recovery plan in place because Breaches are inevitable.
