App Sec. Cyber Sec. Coding. DevOps. Anything that involves securing data and information. In the past, we\u2019ve discussed how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwvconsultants.com\/blog\/information-security-suffers-burnout\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">there\u2019s burnout in Info Sec<\/a>. A large contributing factor to that burnout is executives and higher ups not listening to their employees about security measures that need to be in place, or possible weaknesses that need to be fixed. Execs are so concerned with revenue and profit margin, that they want to get all of the latest features out as quickly as possible. They promote dirty coding, which leads to easy access for hackers. Capital One is a prime example of what happens when executives don\u2019t take action on known security issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In mid-March to April of 2019, Capital One suffered a breach. The breach was not discovered until July, when the company received a tip that its customers information was posted on a public GitHub page. According to <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/8\/8\/21359761\/capital-one-80-million-fine-2019-data-breach?fbclid=IwAR1oVmF0OVDgUNpm_kTJ75-_SpQp7nSUvnAv4iWQIxkgUnanh9PqTPWzl68\" target=\"_blank\">The Verge<\/a>, \u201cIn a scathing&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.occ.gov\/static\/enforcement-actions\/ea2020-036.pdf\">report on its investigation<\/a>&nbsp;into the breach, the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, part of the US Treasury, said Capital One was aware its security practices were woefully insufficient, and that the company\u2019s board of directors \u201cfailed to take effective actions to hold management accountable.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, there are two major problems with the entire situation. First, Capital One neglected a known security problem. They likely didn\u2019t want to incur the additional cost or delay a feature, so execs forced coders to do things improperly. Most coders actually hate to code that way, which is part of the reason there\u2019s burnout in Info Sec as well. Second, the breach happened in the spring and wasn\u2019t found until the summer. While a common occurrence, this points to improper monitoring and alerting on crucial systems. Most companies don\u2019t realize they\u2019ve been breached until months later, which why hackers continue to do what they do and get away with it. Setting up alerts and protections along with knowing what is normal play key roles in detecting an attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Capital One\u2019s case, the issue was improper security protocols when migrating to a public cloud. A former Amazon employee exploited the weakness and shared the private information of over 100 million Capital One customers with the world. She has since been indicted and is awaiting trial. Not all companies are so lucky as to track down their perpetrator, and any company smaller than a multi-million-dollar corporation is going to suffer a great deal from a breach. They\u2019ll suffer in legal fees, lost revenue, loss of trust, loss of customers, payouts for victims and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwvconsultants.com\/blog\/social-media-hacking-is-on-the-rise\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rising numbers of hacking happening in social media<\/a> today. Hackers will use that information to gain access to other areas in people\u2019s lives. For example, the YouTube channel hack made waves with Apple exec Jon Prosser\u2019s channel was taken over. The attack bypassed his 2FA information, potentially with a SIM swap, and he no longer has access to that channel. With the information gained in that access, a hacker could attempt to target Apple itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why we say that people are easier to hack than machines, why we harp on using unique and strong passwords for each site. Use a password manager if needed. Always use MFA when you can. Hackers don\u2019t care who you are, they don\u2019t care what information they get. They will use it to further their endeavors into bigger and more lucrative practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What needs to happen now is that all corporations, no matter the size, need to learn from the mistakes of other Businesses. Capital One is being fined $80 million for their negligence. There aren\u2019t too many businesses that could take that kind of a fine and still function. Because hackers attack indiscriminately, all businesses, no matter the size, need to have appropriate cybersecurity and information security measures in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Execs need to listen to the people they hired for security, slow down on releasing a feature if it\u2019s not ready. Let your coders to their job correctly. Let App Sec do their job correctly. Let DevOps push code out to prod only after it\u2019s been approved by all security teams. Quick and dirty coding causes major problems, and hackers know it. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwvconsultants.com\/blog\/information-security-preparation-is-protection\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Don\u2019t be the next Capital One<\/a>. And if you really want to ensure the security of your business, hire an expert, an outside set of eyes to ensure that nothing has been missed. The extra cost incurred will be far less than any fine imposed due to negligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, Capital One was fined $80 million for it&#8217;s role in a 2019 data breach.
