Daily Beast, Wednesday, July 6, 2011, 11:43am (PDT) We have entered a golden age for the nefarious world of hackers. According to a recent study published by Verizon and the U.S. Secret Service, incidents of data compromise climbed more than 400 percent in 2010 from the previous year to 761 breaches.
Just in the past week, News Corp. has taken global heat after it allegedly hacked into phone records to score scoops, while its Fox News subsidiary had its Twitter feed hacked (publishing a report that President Obama was dead). Meanwhile, the hacker group Anonymous broke into an Apple site this weekend.
