As news of yet another data breach breaks this week, I thought it would be fun to make a game out of the various ways data gets breached.
I even decided to get fancy and made a pretty graphic; you can print out the .PDF version so you can play at home, since the ransomware your CEO downloaded to his iPad has locked your company out of its office badging system.
