The staff of Coins2Day recently assembled its predictions for 2016. Here’s one of our forecasts.
First, a disclaimer: Coins2Day wishes no ill upon any company. That said, we believe a trusted name in security will be utterly and embarrassingly hacked in 2016. Perhaps it’ll be a veteran firm like Symantec (SYMC), or an entrenched tech giant with a cybersecurity arm—like Intel (INTC), Cisco (CSCO), or EMC (EMC) (er, sorry, Dell). Point is: Ever since Edward Snowden pillaged the NSA, the world has come to grasp that no organization is sacred—or fully secured. Already this year, computer crackers drubbed the Italian spyware firm Hacking Team and breached the personal email account of the CIA director. So, quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
