Krebs on Security starts our week with two security breaches. First, 15 million consumers could be affected by the Experian data breach, which is also reported by TechCrunch who talks about the T-Mobile data inclusion in the breach. The second breach is at Scottrade, which affects 4.6 million consumers. Clearly, the Experian breach is something we should keep an eye on giving the scale and the type of company that they are. From the development perspective, Amazon AWS gives us an interesting post on “are you well-architected”. While it obviously leans towards using AWS for various services, it is a good overview of some of the things you need to consider.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
