ORLANDO, Fla. – Silicon Valley isn’t the only source of business innovation. It turns out that the hackers selling stolen data on the dark Web are a powerful source of innovation, too, according to cybersecurity reporter Brian Krebs.
“There has never been such a glut of stolen information out there,” Mr. Krebs said Sunday. “One of the interesting things that comes out of all this, is innovation,” he said at the Gartner Symposium ITxpo 2015, which began Sunday and is expected to draw thousands of CIOs and business technology professionals.
Mr. Krebs, a former Washington Post reporter, now operates the news and investigative site Krebs on Security and has broken major stories such as the Target Corp TGT +0.03%. breach.
