A very early weekly update this time after an especially hectic week. The process with the couple of data breaches in particular was a real time sap and it shouldn't be this hard. Seriously, the amount of effort that goes into trying to get organisations to own their breach (or if they feel strongly enough about it, help attribute it to another party) is just nuts. It's not getting any better either 🙁 Regardless, listen to how these couple went and as always, if you've got any bright ideas about how to make this process less painful then I'd love to hear them.
