Verizon’s $4M Oopsie: A Cybersecurity Cautionary Tale from the DOJ
When it comes to the “Civil Cyber-Fraud Initiative enforcement”, the DOJ is Batman, swooping down on corporate Gotham, slapping heavy fines on cyber wrongdoers. Verizon learned this the $4 million way. Don’t play fast and loose with cybersecurity, folks. Be a hero, not a costly example.
Hot Take:
Looks like the Department of Justice has been working overtime on the Cyber-Fraud Initiative, taking down cyber villains left and right. Verizon is the latest giant to receive a slap on the wrist, with a whopping $4 million penalty for allegedly playing fast and loose with cybersecurity. As we watch these cases unfold, one thing's clear: misrepresenting cybersecurity practices is a risky business, and the DOJ isn't messing around. So, next time you're thinking about cutting corners on cybersecurity, remember Verizon's $4 million mistake and think twice.Already a member? Log in here
