In recent months, cyberattacks have been on the rise within the education industry, especially within schools. Only recently, CCTV was leaked on to the dark web through a disturbing website called ‘Watch live surveillance cameras in the UK’.
CCTV footage leaked included children in the playground, classrooms, and even the bathroom. 20% of schools have been targeted already, and in coming months the figures are expected to rise.
Well-known companies such as British Airways, Marriott Hotels, and Facebook were breached in 2018, with the majority of them having lost a significant number of user records. We've compiled some of the highest profile breaches witnessed throughout the year.
Foregenix are warning all their partners this morning about a vulnerability discovered in the popular
database administration tool Adminer, affecting versions up to and including v4.6.2. The vulnerability
was discovered by security researchers Yashar Shahinzadeh and more recently Willem de Groot,
who publicised the potential impact to eCommerce sites using the software.
You can’t load up a tech news source at the moment without seeing the word ‘breached’ somewhere; and for good reason. Attackers are constantly targeting businesses, searching for vulnerabilities they can exploit to siphon away sensitive data. If you think that as an SME you’re exempt from being hacked, you’re wrong.
File integrity monitoring (FIM) systems are an important part of your website security's immune system. If you want to find and destroy malicious code, you’ll need to know where it is and where it’s come from. FIM systems will log changes made to your website, where they’ve come from and when they were made. Utilising a FIM system in your security strategy will help provide you with up to date knowledge of the inner workings of your website.
