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.
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.
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.
Increased support for contactless payments, digital wallets and mobile payments are making paying for things even more convenient than ever before. 2017 saw some interesting payment statistics, most notably; in the UK, debit cards have surpassed cash for the first time.
Many companies that host payment pages will boast of their ability to securely process payments. Whilst this may be true, it does not mean that your customers data is secure on your website. If you fail to invest in a competent cybersecurity solution, you’re leaving your customers vulnerable to fraud and your business open to a costly breach.
