1.2 Billion Reasons to Worry: Hold Security reports Russian crime ring compromised 1.2 billion username and passwords
The New York Times reported today that a Russian criminal organization has obtained over 1.2 billion username and password combinations and more than 500 million email addresses. The information was gathered from 420,000 websites. The compromised websites include well known and lesser known websites. The New York Times reports that the criminal organization has no intention of selling the data on the black market, yet. For now, the information will be used to send spam marketing to users for a fee.
This story highlights the ongoing security risks of operating online. The Heartbleed vulnerability, discussed by this blog, earlier this year was another. Users who have had their usernames and passwords compromised may not realize that this could also mean access to their financial websites is also compromised. Many online users have the same login information for multiple sites, so when one is compromised it means that all are compromised. This is a problem for banks because it could mean significant exposure due to Regulation E.
Banks should consult with their cybersecurity experts about the best way to safeguard their systems. They should also consult their legal counsel to make sure they understand their liability risks in light of these kinds of security breaches.
