## Introduction

• By one estimate, 53 million people have had data about themselves exposed over the past 13 months. (InformationWeek, 03/20/2006) – This is old news, right now the number is \> 100 million !!!  
• Data theft is becoming a major threat.  
• Criminals have identified where the gold is.  
• In the last year many databases from fortune 500 companies were compromised.  
• As we will see compromising databases is not big deal if they haven’t been properly secured.
