Cybersecurity coverage has taken an odd turn. In the not-so-distant past, when a data breach occurred, journalists would zero in on the kinds and amounts of data that were stolen, and the amount of reputation and bottom-line damage the breach would likely result in. Lately, though, focus has shifted to who perpetrated the breach rather than how it happened.
