10 worst violations of Internet security for all time
1: the Fappening
Ok, I say it would be written in no particular order ... but come one. This was the greatest all-time news in the online piracy and you and I know. What people are missing here is that this hack was quite different from other hacks, let's talk :.
- The damage has been done to the reputation, not bank accounts
- There was not a mass hack iCloud , but small hacks individual accounts with weak passwords.
in total, about 500 private photos taken of smartphones celebrities have been publicly disclosed. Although it has not had the financial impact than other online safety issues, we will look took, they cause irreversible damage to the reputation of many of the celebrities involved
2 :. The Snapchat hack
was the hack awakened thousands of people who use this application to share naked. Including people I ..knew. The service "completely anonymous" has been exposed to be not quite as anonymous or secure as hackers posted the cell phones, user names, and placing more 4 6 million Snapchat accounts.
hackers said they had Snapchat pressure to fix the security hole, but they did. Those raped did not lose money personally, but Snapchat took a big hit that took them over a year to recover.
3. The Playstation Network hack of Sony
LulzSec Sony treaty major breach of Internet security in 2011 when they stole the names, birthdays, numbers the same account and credit card data from the website of Sony Pictures. For nerds like me, the year was even worse when the Playstation Network was hacked, causing outages for days.
This was a serious hack with huge financial implications for Sony and for their employees. Not only were they eventually fined $ 400,000 , they also liquidated compensate those on the Playstation Network, making it a double blow for them financially. The online game is not what it was.
4. Violation Internet security OPM
The recent hack saw government employees, those who have security clearances, have their details stolen. What details? Almost everything their lives. At least 18 million files have been leaked, and these are not small-time accounts for Wal-Mart employees. These were the elite of the things the government has stolen US which could easily lead to identity theft.
5. Global Payment Systems are not so sure
One might think that this online payment system first, second and third concern is safety but this was not the case with the global payment system. In 2012, they lost more than 7 million people personal data.
This hack them hit hard. Really hard. $ 94 million hard. This huge loss was compounded by the fact that they were removed for a year. When you have the job and only one job, and you fail at this job, it's a pretty good idea to take a step back.
6. Adobe is hacked in a flash ...
Sorry for the pun, because this breach of security of the Internet was not a joke. Adboe in 2013 had more than 38 million of their data stolen credit card users ... and then things got worse when 150 million user data files were shared.
said that they used some poor encryption techniques. If even Adobe, one of the biggest names in the digital world, encryption can screw you too. Read more about basic encryption for a home Wi-Fi router here.
7. Neiman Marcus made a costly error
Neiman Marcus can get away with charging $ 50 for a white shirt, but apparently none of excess money goes to safety. In January 2014, 2,400 of their high-end customers have had their accounts used fraudulently. Although credit card information of 1.1 million people was stolen
The hole in their system was exposed from July 16 -. October 2013. You 'd think they pick up on this whole time, but nothing was found until January 2014.
8. Please stay with White House, we will keep you saf ...
Have you ever heard of White Lodging before? It is the parent company of Holiday Inn, Westin, Sheraton, Marriott, Renaissance and Radisson. Have you heard of them? I bet you have!
The first cut took place before 2013, and focused on a restaurant and a gift shop data. This was bad enough, but they have not learned their lesson and suffered a second loss of data 2015 .
9. YAHOO! Or ... yahoo ...
January 2014, just after the release in 2013 Target hack, and days after the white deposit hack, Yahoo! announced that 82 million users had their credentials compromised. This breach of security of the Internet was said to have gone through a third party application.
Almost all users of Yahoo! changed their passwords as a precaution. The underlying lesson here is to practice good password habits.
10. Target is struck
This may be the worst hack in the history of ... history. It was December 2013, when you want your customers to trust you, when the target was revealed that they had been hacked to 40 million user files containing:
- PINs
- credit card numbers
- expiration dates
- the data integrated on the back of credit cards
so it was bad. And then we found that another 30 million users had their personal information stolen or compromised as well. It was not a Merry Christmas to target, and was compounded by the revelation that the hack took place on Black Friday .
