Recently, a global network service provider had a serious data breach, which shocked the industry again. This incident not only highlights the serious challenges of cybersecurity, but also reminds us once again of the importance of data protection and privacy security.
According to cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler, the database leak is as high as a number of information57.46 gb, there are a total of them3.8.5 billion pieces of sensitive data
The database not only contains a large number of day-to-day details such as servers, errors, and monitoring logs; It also contains massive data such as internal operations, employees, business owners and customers, such as personal names, numbers, email addresses, customer activities and sensitive financial data. The leakage of these data poses a serious threat to the privacy and security of itself and its customers, and also brings immeasurable economic losses to enterprises.
Unlike traditional extortion attacks,The main reason for this database leak incident is that it does not involve data encryption, is not protected by basic passwords, and is misconfigured, which means that the massive information of global network service providers is "running naked". Leaked sensitive database information can be used in targeted phishing attacks or fraudulent campaigns that can lead to confidential data breaches, malware installations, and credential leaks, which not only makes it more difficult for organizations to prevent it, but also increases the risk of data breaches.
Interestingly, this incident is not an isolated one, as businesses across the globe are facing similar security challenges. According to the 2022 Global Cybersecurity State Report, 49% of businesses said they had suffered a data breach in the past two years, an increase from the survey a year ago. 79% of respondents said they had experienced a ransomware attack; The average cost of business-critical downtime due to a cybersecurity incident is approximately $200,000 per hour.
In response to this incident, cypresstel cybersecurity experts pointed out that the occurrence of database leakage incidents is often caused by the lack of awareness of network security protection and weak technical prevention capabilities of enterprises. Many businesses rely too heavily on traditional security measures and ignore the evolving and escalating cybersecurity threats. Therefore, it has become a top priority to strengthen network security awareness and improve technical prevention capabilities.
In recent years, major cyber security incidents have occurred frequently around the world, and the threat of cyber attacks has continued to rise, with data leaks and hacker attacks emerging in an endless stream and becoming more dangerous. With the continuous decline of the cost of cyber attacks and the more advanced attack technology, the form of network security is becoming more and more severe, which poses a serious threat to enterprise network security. In the global wave of digitalization, how to govern network security and protect data security has become a major problem that enterprises need to solve urgently.
