Frequently, I hear about breaches due to a stolen/lost backup tape (see the link below), and after a conversation with a colleague over lunch yesterday I am curious as to the extent that this data is successfully 'ripped'.
To elaborate, for a malicious person to really use this information they must find the correct hardware and software to 'rip' the data off of the tape. How often does this happen? What is the success rate? Inquiring minds would like to know.....
