Third party involvement in a breach increased the global average of data breach by an average of $14.80 per record, according to the Ponemon Institute’s 2014 data breach cost study. Dairy Queen confirmed today that a third-party vendor’s compromised account credentials were used to access at some locations. The malware has since been contained, but is believed to have affected nearly 400 Dairy Queen locations and one Orange Julius store. Kmart late today reported that it was investigating a data breach, exposing customer payment card data.”]
