Blackpoint Cyber’s Post

🎯 Ten years ago, Target had a breach that made us all rethink our shopping list: 40 million credit cards and 70 million pieces of juicy personal info, anyone? 🚫💳 Let's raise a glass to the event that made 'checking your cart twice' a whole new level of cybersecurity. 🔐 This wake-up call shook the industry, reminding us that third-party risks can hit closer to home than a bullseye, but how effectively have we transformed this example into meaningful improvements? 🤔 #TargetBreachAnniversary #RiskManagementMilestones #NeverForgetTheHackAttack

A Decade After Target: Are we still missing the mark on data security? Our CEO, Ani Chaudhuri, dives into lessons from the Target breach in this Dark Reading article - https://lnkd.in/gwxtVKAQ. Ani questions whether we've since strengthened our cyber defenses or are still vulnerable to similar attacks. With the evolving threat landscape, are we adequately protecting our most valuable asset - data? #Cybersecurity #DataProtection #RiskManagement #DSPM

Let’s talk Cyber! 🔔 The last weeks I’ve spend researching cybersecurity, best practices, challenges and tried to get hands on experience with that. Why is it so much ? And why does nobody talk about the importance of cybersecurity ? Not only is your company depending on their files, clouds, assets etc, they also depend on them being safe ?! #cybersecurityawareness Read this post about latest data breaches: https://lnkd.in/eEjQqNCt 18 minutes to read ! 18 ‼️ let that be an awakening. The amount of breaches happening and the speed is exhausting to even think about. Spread cyber awareness and protect yourself, family, corporate companies , small business etc.

Is hindsight rocking a solid 20/20 vision, or do enterprises feel the sting when slammed with cyber breaches and stolen data? Great info from TechCrunch! 🚀🔒 #cybersecurity #databreach #infosec #Hindsight2020 #enterprisesecurity #activeGUARDIAN #techtrends #cyberthreats #dataprotection #securityinsights #itsecurity #identitytheft #ransomware #ransomwareprotection

This is a very interesting article presented by Dan Lowden and BLACKBIRD.AI The ability of these Cybercriminals to leverage sophisticated narrative attacks that manipulate information to deceive organizations, a tactic increasingly recognized as a significant cybersecurity threat. This method involves tricking entities into believing they are victims of data breaches, leading to public panic and eroding trust even when these breaches are later debunked. This phenomenon underscores the growing difficulty in distinguishing genuine cyber threats from fabricated ones, especially as institutions face not only the immediate disruptions but also long-term reputational damage. For instance, both public and private sectors have been targets of these disinformation campaigns, evidenced by notable incidents where companies made headlines for alleged data breaches that turned out to be false. The article highlights several case studies that I didn’t even realize. Blackbird.AI’s RAV3N Team provided how false data breach claims have shaped public perception and inflicted reputation harm and other repercussions on companies like Sony and Europcar. Sony, for example, suffered substantial reputational and financial losses when a false breach claim went viral, exacerbating existing concerns from past legitimate breaches. Similarly, Europcar faced public distrust when a fake breach claim suggested they had exposed sensitive customer data, which turned out to be false but not before causing significant concern among consumers. These incidents illustrate not only the speed at which misinformation can spread but also the critical need for organizations to respond swiftly and strategically to avoid exacerbating the situation, a challenge further complicated by regulatory pressures such as those from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requiring swift disclosure of cybersecurity incidents.
