Can You hack it? Attack on personal information
Description
Most companies spend more money on coffee than they do on security, says Ralph Echemendia, lead instructor at Chicago's Hacker Academy. As this program demonstrates, such flagrant corporate carelessness is a gold mine for digital criminals. With disturbing insight into the hacker underworld, the program shows how crippling database invasions can be launched from almost any computer, grabbing massive chunks of personal information seemingly out of thin air. Several case studies are featured-including one retailer that recently announced the theft of 40 million credit card numbers-as well as the consequences arising when businesses are not obligated to disclose security breaches.
