Malware cited in supermarket data breach

I think this article brings up the point that if you have an information system, be sure it is secure and protects the data from being compromised, exploited, or stolen. There are already many cases where universities have had millions of student and faculty data stolen. What this means is that whoever is the CIO of the information system needs to make sure the information system itself is robust and can defend itself reliably from all kinds of attacks. Otherwise, what is the point of having an information system if it's going to be a potential goldmine for future identity thefts.
