The recent CapitalOne breach has certainly made lots of headlines in less than a day since the story broke out. And sadly, it has already thrust the $700M settlement that was reached from the largest ever data breach – the Equifax one – onto the sidelines just days after the news of that settlement broke out.
But going back to CapitalOne, there are lots of lessons to be learned there certainly. I want to focus on where CapitalOne’s data centers were and what that means for the rest of the planet from a security perspective.
