Months after the initial story was rumored but not confirmed, TRUIST Bank now acknowledges that they were in fact breached as data from their internal systems has now appeared online.
How often is this happening? Answer, more often than anyone is admitting. We have watched major companies just in the last 9 months hedge and dodge until finally admitting a breach. While they are running around covering their ass and playing PR games YOUR valuable, personal information is being bought, sold and leveraged online.
This culture of mediocrity has to stop. Companies need to be honest, transparent and accountable. Is it tough, of course, is it terrifying YES. However, the cost is too high, economically, and culturally. We need to be able to feel safe, to TRUST our corporations and providers, to be involved in the conversation and to SEE the investment in protecting our privacy.
Harden the Target, Stay Vigilant!
