Despite the multiple, massive data breaches reported by corporations over the last two years, it may be that the least secure place for data is the federal government. Based on a 17-month audit, the General Accounting Office found that inadequate security measures at federal agencies lead to 35,277 data breach incidents in fiscal year 2017. Those breaches included web-based attacks, phishing and the loss or theft of computing equipment.
