The Alec Baldwin data breach

Opinions on Alec Baldwin aren’t hard to come by. Especially not now, after humiliating voicemail messages he left for his daughter were leaked to entertainment gossip website TMZ.com.

Mine are pretty simple: Glengarry Glen Ross –good; The Hunt for Red October – very good, a much better Jack Ryan than Ben Affleck, not as good as Firewall star Harrison Ford; parenting skills – the jury’s still out, to be kind.

But one Baldwin role that doesn’t immediately come to mind is data breach.

Kenneth F. Belva at bloginfosec.com pointed out today that while voicemails are not generally considered information security “data,” the leak has quantitative and non-quantitative financial consequences, including potential loss in job opportunities, as well as considerable reputational damage.
