Pwned Breach of the Week: Measure Twice, Cut Once, and Check Your Email Attachments

Justin Fimlaid Justin Fimlaid

On this week’s Breach of the Week, we learn the importance of measuring twice and cutting once. Why are we sharing this timeless carpentry advice? For one, it's great advice to ensure you don't waste construction materials, but the breach this week is about an email sent with the best of intentions that instead releases significant PII data. As if you need another reason to check your email, we also touch on Nicholas Cage and yet another email that revealed who was pulling their weight at a big corporation. We highlight these mistakes because it's so easy for anyone to mistakenly do this, proving human error remains a significant vulnerability. So, check that email twice before sending, measure that board twice before cutting, and stay off our Breach of the Week!
