Welcome back to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s Weekly Breach Breakdown – supported by Sentilink. I’m James Lee, the ITRC’s President and this is the episode for March 7th, 2025.

Last month we talked about how many, if not most, data breach federal court lawsuits are dismissed on technical grounds before they ever get near a jury. This month we’re going to talk about those cases that do survive a motion to dismiss, but still don’t make it to trial because they are settled.

In the final installment of our three-part series on healthcare privacy, Voices in Health Law host Ramana Rameswaran is joined by Adam Greene of Davis Wright Tremaine and Jaysen Park of VMG Health for an in-depth discussion on the Biden administration’s proposed updates to the HIPAA Security Rule. The conversation explores the motivations behind the overhaul, including growing cybersecurity threats and enforcement challenges, and examines the implications for covered entities and business associates—particularly smaller healthcare practices. The episode also highlights practical steps regulated entities can take now to prepare, despite the uncertain regulatory future.

Welcome to the Identity Theft Resource Center's (ITRC’s) Weekly Breach Breakdown for August 8, 2025. I'm Alex Achten, Senior Director of Communications & Media Relations of the ITRC. Thanks to Sentilink for supporting the ITRC and this podcast. Each week, we look at the most recent events and trends related to data security and privacy. Today, we are going to look at how a weak password at a large corporation led to the exposure of millions of people’s personal information, and explore good password practices.  

In the past on this podcast, we have joked about the password “123456”. It is a very weak password and, according to the 2025 Hive Systems Password Table, it would be cracked instantly by an identity criminal. This weak password provides no security, and while you’d think no one would use it today, it is still commonly used. In fact, NordPass reports that it is the most commonly used password worldwide, with a count of 3,018,050.
