The last time I heard of a large security breach was from Target back in 2013 which seems like alot longer than I remember. Millions of customers credit card information was stolen. I remember my parents getting an email and canceling some of their cards because they were scared. Not only was this bad for Target’s branding, but it’s even worse for customers’ that were affected by the hack, potentially using funds because their credit card info was stolen.
My question is why this hack was possible in the first place. Firstly, how can one security breach allow a person access to literally 50 million credit/debit card info. Why isn’t this highly senstive customer info broken up into much smaller batches and each protected with stronger security? Our sensitive customer data should not be all pooled together so that one slip up can lead to such massive consequences.

Had the female employee stayed quiet, a very valuable line of thought may have never been pursued. In meetings with many influencial/powerful people in a company, voicing a thought will get everyone else to think on that idea. So to even get the ball rolling is a huge step towards a solution.
The female employee challenged the heirarchical assumption that “lower” level employees should not be answering questions asked by CEOs. When she spoke up and offered a new idea to the snarky CEO, the room was shocked that she would even suggest such a new idea, especially since it was the CEO’s idea to digitalize everything and she voted for “unplugging”
