Fighting to Prevent Data Breaches

Using the Internet to steal information has become a common occurrence for hackers, companies, criminal organizations and even governments. This behavior is nothing new. People have been spying and stealing secrets for most of recorded history, it’s only the techniques that change. The stakes are a lot higher today than in the past, since a successful hack can bring a company or even a government to its knees. Current data breach notification laws help...

If you rewind the clock back 50 years, the rich were those who had a big bankroll in their pocket. This was before most of us had credit cards. Debit cards were a nice idea and the concept of PayPal was a pipe dream. Fast forward to 2013 and we all know that money is still power, but getting your hands on sensitive data seems to be the way to riches. Of course stealing...

A recent incident in the news illustrates a common problem with sensitive and confidential information. People can and do make mistakes when it comes to properly handling personally identifiable information (PII). According to news reports, insurance documents from 1996 and 1997 were accidentally placed into a Tooele County, Utah employee’s personnel file. The documents had names and Social Security numbers that were not his. The information had been misfiled a long time ago and...

Woe the poor business person as she rushes to her next meeting. She has to meet a customer at 10:00 and realizes she forgot her presentation. She jumps in a cab and calls someone back at the office. “Would you please email me that presentation we worked on yesterday?” “It’s too big to go through our email system. Remember IT put a 10Mb limit on attachments.” “OK, put it in Dropbox. I can get...

Today Fasoo launched DigitalQuick, its new beta cloud security service. This is very timely with all the recent news about cyber espionage and hacking by the Chinese army. Sophisticated computer hacking makes all of us more vulnerable to data breaches and theft of our intellectual property. These hacking stories make me realize that no one is immune. Stories about cyber espionage focus on either stealing corporate secrets or infiltrating government or infrastructure systems. The...

Today, SafeNet released the State of the Data Breach survey which surveyed hundreds of U.S. enterprise security professionals. The survey asked for views on current information security measures and how likely their organization would suffer a data breach. About 2/3 of respondents said they will be the victim of a data breach in the next 3 years. This is not a surprising finding since large and small organizations alike are getting breached. There are...

With the recent revelations that Chinese hackers infiltrated both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, I thought it was time to look into password security again. The hackers were monitoring the newspaper’s China coverage and wanted to know what reporters were involved. The hackers were after employee passwords so they could access email accounts and other resources. Both organizations claimed they only accessed emails and there was no further damage, but...

I recently read an interesting article in CloudAve titled, “Sure Dropbox is Potentially Insecure, but does it Matter?” The article highlights the trend of corporate users bypassing IT Security and exchanging files with co-workers and external third parties. They researched the types of corporate staff that use Dropbox and other file sharing services to exchange information. The article goes on to state that they believe the majority of the files are not confidential and...

Organizations are getting very serious about how they react to a data breach of confidential information. On January 10, 2013, an employee of a contractor who processes Medicaid prescription transactions lost a USB drive with about 6000 patients’ names, Medicaid identification number, age and recent prescription drug use history. Less than a week later, she was fired. The organization affected was the Utah Department of Health. It uses Goold Health Systems to process pharmacy...

Most of the data breaches in the news are from large companies like Sony and Zappos, who collectively had almost 150 million records compromised in 2011 and 2012. Most of the actual data breaches are from smaller companies or compromise fewer records. Unfortunately like all statistics, if you or your company are affected, it doesn’t matter the size of the breach of company. You are at risk. Two smaller but significant events occurred recently...
