FTC Proposes Settlements for Peer-to-peer File-sharing Data Breaches | Practical Law
The Federal Trade Commission has announced proposed settlements with two different businesses over charges that each had separately violated the FTC Act by failing to implement reasonable and appropriate data security measures. Each business allegedly permitted peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing software to be installed on its corporate computer systems, making sensitive customer information available to the P2P networks.
