Data Breach Incidents Escalate When Security of Databases Takes a Backseat
Cloud configuration mistakes continue to pose a major security risk to organizations around the world. These unsecured cloud databases can leak sensitive user data and even allow unauthorized third parties to access or modify the data without any authorization.
In a new research conducted by Comparitech, it was found that attackers took less than nine hours to get their hands on unsecured databases.
Eventually, these unprotected databases were attacked 18 times per day by hackers.
To find vulnerable databases, many attackers use an IoT search engine, like Shodan or BinaryEdge.

Today’s ‘mega’ data breaches now cost companies $392 million to recover from
… On Wednesday, IBM released its annual Cost of a Data Breach Report which says that the average data breach now costs $3.86 million. While this average has decreased by 1.5% in comparison to 2019, when over 50 million consumer records are involved, these "mega" breaches can cost up to $392 million to remedy, up from $388 million in 2019.
If an organization is acting as a data controller for between 40 and 50 million records, the cost on average is $364 million, and organizations could face a cost of up to $175 per consumer record involved in data theft or leaks.

Here's how Army Cyber Command plans to take on information warfare
… the Army’s top cybersecurity official has released a ten-year plan to reform his command into a more capable information warfare unit.
The plan, which Lt. Gen. Stephen Fogarty outlined this week in Cyber Defense Review, a publication from the Army Cyber Institute, is meant to reorganize Army Cyber Command into a series of units that can work to counter adversaries’ efforts to destabilize the U.S., including by influencing adversaries’ behavior and decision-making through jamming up their signals, or by messaging and running social media information operations to control the narrative, for instance. In some cases, the reformulated Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) will focus on “skillfully communicating (or obscuring), the location, capability, and intent of Army forces,” Fogarty said.
Not the most timely, but welcome. (Hey, was that a stop sign back there?)

A Developer’s Guide to CCPA, GDPR Compliance
The digital landscape is continuously evolving, and privacy regulations such as CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) and the European Union’s GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) are in effect to give consumers their fundamental right to data privacy.
These regulations force organizations to revamp their operations to comply. This means all departments within an organization, from marketing to software development and everything in between, have to keep privacy regulations in mind and tweak their workflows accordingly.
In this article, we will discuss the steps developers can take to stay compliant with these regulations.
With more people concerned about their data rights, giving them complete control over their data is essential in today’s world. Under both GDPR and CCPA, here are all the rights consumers have concerning their data:
The right to be informed.
The right of access.
The right to rectification.
The right to erasure.
The right to restrict processing.
The right to data portability.
The right to object to processing.
The rights concerning automated decision-making and profiling.
