Your total submission should be approximately 5 pages, including the cover page and references, or about 3 pages of double-spaced text.Be sure to follow the APA template provided for formatting, and of course, spell and grammar check.

 

You may wish to enhance your submission by comparing and analyzing the similarities and differences to other data breach episodes not discussed specifically in the Case Study. For example, Chief Security Officer (CSO) Magazine Online Editor Dan Swinhoe ranked the Equifax hack as only #6, as of January 2021:

 

Biggest Data Breaches

 

Adobe

Adult Friend Finder

Canva

Dubsmash

eBay

Equifax

Heartland Payment Systems

LinkedIn

Marriott International

My Fitness Pal

MySpace

NetEase

Sina Weibo

Yahoo

Zynga

Of course it does matter how the rankings were determined:

 

“CSO compiled this list of the biggest 21st Century breaches using simple criteria: The number of people whose data was compromised. We also made a distinction between incidents where data was stolen for malicious intent and those where an organization inadvertently left data unprotected and exposed. Twitter, for example, left the passwords of its 330 million users unmasked in a log, but there was no evidence of any misuse. So, Twitter did not make this list” (Swinhoe, 2021, ¶2).
