Australian data breaches rising

Through our partnership with Vectra Corporation, a leading team of IT security and PCI DSS specialists, our computer forensic investigators perform the majority of credit card data breach investigations across Australia and New Zealand.

We've definitely seen an increase in the number of breaches over the last year, with many cases still occurring because fundamental security measures are falling short; card data stored unencrypted, servers missing critical patches and use of default code and security settings leaving systems open to basic attacks like SQL injection.

I recently discussed the issue with ZDNet.
