A recent court decision about the Target breach should have businesses of all sizes taking note.
A Minnesota judge found Target negligent in the breach and said it can be held responsible for financial damages. Infosecurity Magazine quoted the judge:
“Although the third-party hackers’ activities caused harm, Target played a key role in allowing the harm to occur,” Magnuson wrote in his ruling. “Indeed, Plaintiffs’ allegation that Target purposely disabled one of the security features that would have prevented the harm is itself sufficient to plead a direct negligence case.”
