Evite experienced a data breach where names, email addresses, and passwords were stolen electronically. While birth dates, mailing addresses, and financial data were not confirmed to be stolen, Evite acknowledged they were still potentially compromised. The stolen information could be used for identity theft. Evite took responsibility by informing customers of the breach rather than keeping it secret, and addressed that a perpetrator was selling customer account information. Evite protected phone numbers, birth dates, mailing addresses, and financial data, but other information was leaked.

The company I chose for these case questions is Evite.
The different types of data that is stored
electronically names, email addresses, passwords, and phone numbers. Evite stated that other information such as birth dates, mailing addresses and financial data had not been stolen but they had as much of a potential to be compromised. Data is used by these individuals to gain access to accounts and using this information for various reasons – a process known as identity theft. When it comes to the first tenant of responsibility, I thought that Evite took accountability for their lack of security by informing their customers of their breach rather than keeping it a secret. Evite took accountability by addressing that the perpetrator put the information of the customers accounts up for sale. Although the last tenant liability doesn’t have much credit when it comes to Evite, the company was able to inform their customers that information was leaked but as well as protected such as their phone numbers, birth dates, mailing addresses, and financial data.
