Knowledge is protection when the IRS is involved. I'm Darrin Mish, a tax attorney in Tampa with 32 years of experience representing taxpayers nationwide. Here's what I want you to understand.<\/p>\n
Have data breaches become so common<\/a> that they are now almost becoming universally accepted? Let\u2019s hope not.<\/p>\n Uber had a small mishap when it accidentally gave anyone access to an unlimited number of scanned documents for a large number of drivers. Security breaches can happen in an almost unlimited number of ways: retail point of sale systems are hacked exposing credit card information; a healthcare employee gains access to patient computer files; consumer profiles and identities are stolen, including SSNs and birth dates etc.<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s no small wonder when you hear the news that Uber has been hacked. For many, it\u2019s life as usual. <\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately, not all companies are forthcoming with the information and knowledge about what fully occurred. Sometimes, hackers \u201chack\u201d to simply make a point. Other times hackers hack to demand payment not to divulge the information. And it is almost impossible to find out the location of the hackers.<\/p>\n
