th news of massive data breaches becoming almost a weekly occurrence, consumers are beginning to lose their patience with the custodians of their personal information.
Survey results from 2,000 consumers released last week by HyTrust, suggest that 51 percent of those polled would bolt from any business involved in a data breach that compromised personal information such as address, Social Security number or credit card details.
Suspicions have been growing among consumers that businesses aren't doing enough to protect the data they eagerly collect from their customers, Eric Chiu, president and founder of HyTrust, told TechNewsWorld.
"We're seeing repeats of the same sorts of attacks over and over," he said. "It means that in the retail world, everyone is playing kick the can. They're not addressing what needs to be addressed now and putting the consumer first."
