Most data breaches are caused by mundane events such as employees losing, having stolen or simply unknowingly misusing corporate assets, a Forrester Research report has found.
After questioning more than 7,000 IT executives and ordinary employees across North America and Europe, 31 percent cited simple loss or theft as the explanation for data breaches at their companies, ahead of inadvertent misuse by an employee at 27 percent, according to an article from PC World.
