How a Small Business Can Help Protect Itself From Data Breaches

Even though eBay Inc. announced their data breach on May 21, something about it stuck in my mind. To refresh your memory, the company stated that the breach took place “between late February and early March, [and] included eBay customers’ name, encrypted password, email address, physical address, phone number and date of birth;” which means that if you have an account with eBay, the attackers might have had your information for months. The potential damage that could have been done is pretty scary.
