Welcome to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s Weekly Breach Breakdown for January 7th, 2022. I’m James Lee…and our podcast today is possible thanks to support from Experian.

Each week we look at the most recent events and trends related to data security and privacy. This is the first episode of our third season and a lot has happened since we last visited in late December. We are in the midst of another global cyberattack against an obscure, but near-universal software component known as Log4j. The Federal Trade Commission this week warned organizations it will take action if they fail to fix the flaw on a timely basis…similar to the $700M in fines and remediations aimed at Equifax following its 2017 security & data breach.
