An August article suggested that the due to the large amounts of cyber breaches that have impacted both public and private sectors that have put millions of individuals personal identifiable information at risk, the general attitude toward breaches is becoming more mainstream and accepted.  This is an unfortunate state of affairs when instead of compelling organizations to aggressively improve their network security practices, the public writ large is willing to accept credit monitoring for a period of time (usually 1-2 years) as a consolation prize.  According to one source, the first half of 2016 has seen 538 breaches identified; 60 percent of businesses losing valuable intellectual property and/or trade secrets; and approximately 13 million records exposed.
