Being dragged in front of Congress on anything related to a computer is not a big deal; if it were, Mark Zuckerberg would not be CEO of Meta. The liabilities will be played out in court over the next decade, and you'll possibly see some legislation passed over that time period limiting liability in these situations, because how can we possibly expect these companies to deliver value to shareholders while shouldering…

Weird comment, are we supposed to trade the unfounded nihilism for unfounded optimism? Apparently accountability and transparency[1] are widely available.. behind closed doors.

[1]: yep, transparency is kinda required for having effective insurance, regulation, or liability.

Verizon having to publicly disclose that they screwed up protecting the data they collect, and then, like a desperate addict, asking for more data? Yeah, no, you're right, not ironic at all.

It is a report that Verizon produced about data breaches in industry, not a report about a data breach at Verizon. Please at least click the link before making snarky comments or your snarky comments will be misinformed.

You have to admit the title "2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report" is very easily interpreted as a Verizon data breach.

Kind of ironic they try to collect an email on this page and you simply have to hit view only.

What is ironic about this?

It could be considered situational irony for a company reporting on industry data breaches to expect readers to disclose personal information as one would expect them to display sensitivity to unnecessary capture of precisely this kind of data.

That's why reading before commenting is preferred...there's even a synopsis outlying what the report is though at the link and the second page of the report outlines it as well. So even a cursory glance before commenting would have worked here...

Possibly, but even after knowing what TFA is about, the title still reads the other way. It's an unfortunate thing that the majority of readers of the title will assume it is a breach of Verizon rather than an investigation by Verizon. To not understand this and allow the title to go as is, is just naivete at its finest.

Direct link - https://www.verizon.com/business/resources/T5d2/reports/2024... From the title, it seemed that Verizon had published a postmortem of a recent data breach incident they had

dang, could you correct this URL?

Looks like this link also redirects to the intake screen and not the PDF, now. https://www.verizon.com/business/resources/T60a/reports/2024... appears to be the latest direct link.
