Despite the passage of countless data security laws, data breaches are increasing at a record pace. Why is the law failing to stop them? In Breached!, Daniel Solove and Woodrow Hartzog argue that, ironically, the law is failing because it is too focused on individual breaches and not the larger context, in which many actors contribute to poor data security and make breaches much more harmful. Drawing insights from many fascinating stories about data breaches, the authors explain why the law fails and even worsens the problem. Engaging and accessible, Breached! will reshape our thinking about one of the most thorny problems in business and consumer life today.
