Just in the last 10 days or so, security breaches involving private consumer data have been reported at JP Morgan, Home Depot, Dairy Queen, and UPS, some which having gone undetected for months.

As long as hackers continue to find vulnerability, we’re likely to see this trend continue. http://threatpost.com/home-depot-urges-credit-monitoring-vigilance/108055
