Judge applies common sense to question of what constitutes a data breach

A federal judge threw out an FTC complaint against a cancer research lab called LabMD. The matter involved a LabMD employee who violated company policies and downloaded P2P software. The breach, however, was detected and shut down before anyone on the outside saw that information. The judge also knocked down an FTC argument that the employees breach meant that a future data breach was likely. This could have consequences far beyond FTC rulings, but it wont help with civil lawsuits, where anything that a party can allege is fair game.”]
