Considerations

  • Small mistakes can mean big consequences

    The most common error in this industry was Misconfiguration, which typically occurs when an employee launches a database on the cloud without implementing the proper controls to protect sensitive data. These cases are often found by security researchers, which counts as a breach.

  • Criminals weaponize emails

    Many times, an attacker will try to get personal data through phishing emails or even social engineering over the phone. Once the victim has taken the bait, the attacker will attempt to get data or facilitate a wire transfer. Motivation is usually financial, with the data of choice being personal, followed closely by credentials.
