32 Date Breaches Larger than Sony’s in the past year

of their data leaked which includes their internal documents with their employee’s
information. In addition to that, information about the actors and copies of
several unreleased movies which cause them a huge loss because their movies

million records. Home Depot, Community Health Systems, Michaels Stores, Texas
