About

About this blog:

This site began life in 2009 as a spinoff from PogoWasRight.org after the number of breaches in 2008 made me realize I needed a separate site just for breaches.

This site receives no funding or financial support and that’s the way I intend to keep it. If you like the site and find it valuable, drop me a note to let me know.

About me:

I’m not a security professional.  I’m a privacy advocate who believes that we cannot protect our privacy when stewards do not do a good job of protecting our information.  This blog is a constant reminder that we are nowhere close to achieving adequate security.

As of 2011, I also became a Curator and Researcher for the Open Security Foundation’s DataLossDB project. The views expressed on this blog are my own, and do not represent those of the Open Security Foundation.
