How might this example of IS security breach affect your decision to purchase new devices that allow its users constant connection through their phone or internet?

How much fault should be placed on the company who falls victim to security breaches?

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and subsequent government Acts require companies to implement a “reasonable” level of security.
