This is a great article, and I hope it gets read widely. I love the phrase "toxic data spill". We won't have reached maturity in the IT world until it becomes completely accepted and assumed that your systems will be broken into and whatever data is accessible there will be stolen. Only when we start designing with that in mind as a first principle will we actually have a chance of making people safe. For now, virtually every system I come across is designed around the principle that nobody bad will ever get in, and all we have to focus on is layers of encryption and network security to stop them - it is honestly just ludicrously naive. Even with perfect security, one day someone you let in will turn bad and expose data.
