Security Breaches

The most effective hacking methods, demonstrated by recent examples such as the Sony Pictures scandal, the iCloud celebrity photo leak or discovery of CIA head John Brennan’s classified data on AOL remain:

• Social engineering (phishing and personal)
• Brute force password guessing

Needless to say, when a company's data is breached, it faces significant response costs, scrutiny, reputational damage, and monetary loss. It's also significant that in a data breach, both the company and its customers suffer. The big scandals of recent years have been situations where a hacker gains access to a server and steals millions of passwords and other user details – hence the need to protect the servers with good firewalls and other security measures.

Access Control

It must be remembered that a lot of personal information is stored in data systems around the world, and with the way people reuse passwords, a breach in one system is enough to gain access to other systems, or piece together a fraudulent identity for a spending spree. Furthermore, an average person’s mailbox over time accumulates enough data for a fully-fledged identity theft.

This is why poor password selection for services like email, website and cloud services logins makes them attractive to brute-force attacks.

Consequently bespoke software should always be designed to allow for the comparative weakness at the point where password credentials are checked to gain entry to a system.

The standard technique for securing passwords is by ‘hashing and salting’. Hashing uses algorithms to convert a password into a long series of jumbled numbers and letters which cannot be reversed. This allows the hashed password to be used to check a future login, but the password itself is never stored. Security
