ID theft seems to be everywhere in the news. I just saw a 10 second blurb on the local Pensacola news of an area hospital that had data stolen. When local news in small towns are picking up the story and its impact I would say it is getting frothy.
What I haven't seen, not saying it hasn't been reported, are the costs associated with losing sensitive data, i.e. hospital records, payroll info, credit card info, etc. I sometimes think the upgrade movement is slow because there hasn't been a huge settlement against a corporation for damages.
Ciao!
