As a sign of the new "cybersecurity" era, I propose addition of a new section titled "Data Breaches" (or whatever the Wikipedia community has settled on, for my proposal cannot be the first to suggest addition of such a section).

I know of someone who received a July 11, 2020 letter - supposedly from Morgan Stanley - identifying a potential data leakage when (per the letter) "In 2016, Morgan Stanley closed two data centers and decommissioned the computer equipment in both locations. As is customary, we contracted with a vendor to remove the data from the devices. We subsequently learned [how?] that certain devices believed to have been wiped of all information still contained some data."

I am proposing this section addition (and I hate to say it, but Wikipedia should create a "data-breach-bot" to standardize all the data breaches that have and will continue to occur) as there is not any kind of posting about this potential data leakage on Morgan Stanley's official website.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Morgan Stanley's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 17:12, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
