Data Breaches Trend Micro anticipates "one major data breach will occur every month next year." That doesn't seem like a stretch since "major data breach" is subject to interpretation. It can mean thefts of intellectual property such as source code or sensitive documents, ala Adobe or Edward Snowden. Perhaps we mean a large number of customer records compromised. Or a large service provider will be breached. A high-profile site, such as the Healthcare Exchange, may be compromised. I wonder if Trend Micro is underestimating this number.
