7 security incidents that cost CISOs their jobs | CSO Online
In July 2019 Capital One announced an attacker had gained access to the personal information of over 100 million customers. The bank learned of the attack months after the fact thanks to a tip-off from a security researcher. The suspected attacker, a former Amazon employee, reportedly took advantage of a misconfigured firewall. The company has said it expects the incident to cost it between $100 million and $150 million — mainly for customer notifications, credit monitoring and legal support — in 2019 alone.
