In the article Glasswasherparts.com_.pdf (dojmt.gov), the economic side of the report suggest that there were peoples bank accounts stolen and the attacker was able to access the first name, last name, address, phone number, and debit card information with expiration dates. With this breach happening it is able to interfere with all of the information flow regarding the website the attacker was able to gain malicious access to. In my opinion, I think that the notification given should explain to the users to get new accounts so that the attacker doesn’t have access to their banking information. However, the fact that they are notifying the person with bank information they have in their system is a good thing. I think they need to configure more steps to ensure the users’ safety. In the notification they do a good job with identifying what happened during the breach regarding why they are now notifying customers instead of when it happened. The reason that they notified them later is because they found out later and not when the attack happened. In order to ensure the websites capability to safeguard information, I think that they need to be more aware of the transaction and data within their website in order to stop an attack initially. There needs to be proper security training involved in order to maintain safeguarding information within the website that the users are using.
