As mentioned above, Pepsi Ventures was hacked and the information stolen was a gold
mine for the thieves. Pepsi can afford to write the large checks that they will no doubt be
required to write, but this is an alert to employers regarding what information they are
keeping and, more importantly, how that information is being secured. If it turns out that
Pepsi didn’t really have good controls in place, the penalties could be very large. If you
are not sure whether your sensitive employee data is safe, please contact us.
