Bitglass, a Silicon Valley-based data protection company orchestrated an investigation to try and track where stolen data gets sent post-breach. The company discovered that in just a dozen days, a single stolen document traveled to twenty-two countries, was viewed over a thousand times and was downloaded around fifty times. Hot beds for where the information was accessed was northeastern Asia and western Africa.
This shows that stolen information and data can be shared with inappropriate parties with tremendous ease, and proves the need for security best practices to be implemented across a business or organization.
