2015 Year in Review

2015-hacks-breaches-blueprint

As we wrap up 2015, I wanted to make our last posting of “This Week in Security News” in 2015 a wrap up that looks back over some of the biggest stories we saw in 2015. These stories represent some of the biggest, most interesting or most important data breaches, attacks and events that we tracked in 2015.

This isn’t a complete list: it’s not meant to be. Its mean to give a sense of what 2015 was like as we close the books on one of the biggest years for security and privacy yet.
