Millions of Parents and Children Get Hacked: Lessons CEOs Can Learn
VTech the maker of children’s toys got their systems hacked which allowed a hacker to download thousands of photos, voice recordings and chat logs of 6.4 million parents and children. A couple lessons were highlighted from the article that I thought were pretty good, they were:
- “Taking security seriously is something you need to do before a data breach, not something you say afterwards to placate people”
- Too much data was accessible too easily
- Most companies are now tech companies (whether they like it or not) and so comes new responsibilities
- While the hack is over, the repercussions could live on for years
