Abandoned Web Apps Found as a Core Cause Behind High Profile Data Breaches. Insecure, legacy, and abandoned web apps are among the critical security issues that lead to data breaches of FT 500 US and EU companies as found out by High-Tech Bridge, a provider of Application Security Testing (AST) services.
High-Tech Bridge's study analyzed the 1,000 largest global companies from the US and the EU to collect data for their research, via a "large-scale discovery and non-intrusive assessment of their external web and mobile applications, SSL certificates, web software and unprotected cloud storage. " The research is based on information collected from systems accessible via HTTP/S protocols and not from network components that could be discovered with the help of IoT search engines such as Shodan.
As uncovered by High-Tech Bridge, the 500 most important US companies have 293,512 systems accessible via an Internet connection, out of which 42,549 Internet-facing systems have been found to run active web applications with dynamic functionality and content. Gpr report. The 15 biggest data breaches of the 21st century - Air India reveals passenger data stolen in hack attack. Air India, India's national carrier, has revealed that the personal data of about 4.5 million people were leaked in an alleged cyberattack on the airline's passenger system operator, SITA.
The airline said credit card, passport, booking details and other personal data had been illegally accessed in the "highly sophisticated" attack. The carrier did not specify how many of its passengers were impacted. Air India said that credit card CVV numbers — that give increased card security — had not been revealed to the hackers as the information was not held by the data processor. The carrier advised customers to change their account passwords as a precaution. The airline was apparently notified of the breach in February, but the identity of the hackers was only provided to them by SITA in March and April. CNA Financial Paid Hackers $40 Million in Ransom After March Cyberattack. CNA Financial Corp., among the largest insurance companies in the U.S., paid $40 million in late March to regain control of its network after a ransomware attack, according to people with knowledge of the attack.
The Chicago-based company paid the hackers about two weeks after a trove of company data was stolen, and CNA officials were locked out of their network, according to two people familiar with the attack who asked not to be named because they weren’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly. In a statement, a CNA spokesperson said the company followed the law. She said the company consulted and shared intelligence about the attack and the hacker’s identity with the FBI and the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, which said last year that facilitating ransom payments to hackers could pose sanctions risks. “CNA is not commenting on the ransom,” spokeswoman Cara McCall said.

Technology users around the world are increasingly concerned, and rightly so, about protecting their data. But many are unaware of exactly how their data is being collected and would be shocked to learn of the scope and implications of mass consumer data collection by technology companies.
