Ex-Employees May Cause Data Security Problems

As companies grow and shrink, people naturally move to different jobs. If a company gets hot, there is a natural tendency for it to attract people from numerous backgrounds and professions. Just look at the growth in Silicon Valley in the last 10 years as Apple, Google, Facebook, Salesforce and many others have grown dramatically and become household names. As people advance throughout their careers, they create and have access to sensitive information. In...

In many recent articles regarding data breaches, you will always see that organizations are notifying customers and offering free credit reporting and monitoring, fraud alert services and other services. Most of the headlines read say very little about what these organizations are doing to increase their security and protection of customer personally identifiable information (PII) after they have experienced a data breach. Thus it is not uncommon for the same organizations to experience two,...

We’ve heard of data breaches by insiders but not in the way of printing errors. Although between the two kinds of insider threats, malicious and by accident, this is considered by accident, this can be a big headache for organizations. Whether it is leaving printouts of sensitive data on the printer unattended after printing or printing errors due to human error, this can all lead to data breaches. In a recent article, a health...

While a lot of companies are focusing on outsiders attacking their businesses to steal sensitive information, few of us focus on inside hackers. Home Depot, JPMorgan Chase and Target are fairly recent examples of cybercriminals going after credit cards and other customer information. Companies need to fix easily exploited vulnerabilities to address these problems, but they also need to look inward to current and former employees. An example of this is a case where...

Insider threats. It is not that we have not heard about these two words before, as it has been all over our blog, as well all over the news. However, it seems as though we don’t hear a lot about how organization are responding to prevent data breaches from these insider threats. A recent warning by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to organizations was that there is an increase in insider...

How many of you have company privacy and security guidelines at your company? Do you really follow each and every guideline? Based on a recent article of the data breach at AT&T, it doesn’t look like that is the case. One of its employees did not follow their “strict privacy and security guidelines” and gained access to customers’ accounts without authorization. Some of this information includes Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers and Customer...

This almost sounds like a 1950s B movie title where demented USB drives attack unsuspecting villagers. Unfortunately it’s the result of work by security researchers that can turn a USB drive into a silent malware installer. Researchers from Berlin-based Security Research Labs (SRLabs) demonstrated an attack dubbed BadUSB at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas in August 2014 that can takeover a keyboard and have it send keystrokes to download and install...

Cybercrime or cyberespionage is not something you only see in a spy movie. The harsh reality of today’s world is that people steal information for power and financial gain. Almost any business can be a target whether directly or indirectly. We have seen well-publicized attacks, like those at J.P. Morgan Chase and Home Depot in recent weeks, but many of the most damaging go under the radar. One strategy that hackers and others are...

In a recent article, they state that while so much attention has spotlighted outside hackers attacking companies such as Home Depot, JP Morgan Chase & Co., Target, and so on, companies have suffered $40 billion in losses due to unauthorized use of computers by their own employees last year. Those are mostly caused malicious insiders which are those employees or even former employees who still have access that intend to steal data. However, we...
