Cybercrime is on its way to becoming a top threat for businesses, governments, and communities. According to the 2019 Official Annual Cybercrime Report by Cybersecurity Ventures, cyberattacks are the fastest growing crime globally, and their sophistication and damage scale are also rising - projecting to cost the world $6 trillion every year until 2021. Their growth will overshadow the damage from natural disasters, while profitability will outdo the global trade of all illegal drugs combined.
Hackers create around 300,000 new pieces of malware daily, according to McAfee data. Apart from traditionally well-equipped professionals, we witness a soaring population of so-called "script kiddies". Wannabe hackers run ready-made malware without understanding the mechanics behind it and leak breached records "for fun"and peer recognition. As these "skiddies"usually don't know the end-users of the compromised data or don't have a specific target, it makes the consequences of attacks absolutely unpredictable.
Hacking manuals are very accessible: for instance, in 2016 a 10-year-old from Helsinki successfully exposed an Instagram security bug allowing him to delete any written content on the platform. The Finnish prodigy received a $10,000 reward from Facebook as a part of the company's bug bounty program.
The "script kiddie"frenzy is leading to the exponential growth of exposed data. In 2019 Breach Level Index reported more than 14 billion data records lost or stolen. Only 4% of that data was encrypted, meaning it couldn't be used right away without criminals putting in extra work to decrypt it.
Are organizations prepared?
Cyber-attack statistics show 72% of large companies report such events. But hi-tech villains don't go only after the big fish. 43% of cyber-attacks target small businesses, according to the 2019 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report.
Are businesses prepared for this undercover cyber warfare against them? Well, 75% of all businesses don't even have a formal cyber-attack response plan. At the same time, according to Fortune, two-thirds of businesses attacked by hackers weren't confident they could recover. The damage to infrastructure and reputation can be just too severe.
Fear and embarrassment associated with cybersecurity failures lead to the underreporting of such incidents. For example, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center states that the number of reported cybercrimes in the agency's reports only represent 10 to 12% of the total number actually committed in the U.S. each year. But with leaked databases circulating freely on the dark web, the attacks just can't be brushed under the carpet.
Other risks of reputational and financial losses for businesses are connected with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or similar legislative guidelines, aimed at protecting personal data and making companies responsible for leaking even one account's records. For instance, GDPR regulators issued fines totaling hundreds of millions of euros in the first 20 months of the law application. The list of fined companies includes Google, Facebook, Vodafone, Uber, Raiffeisen Bank, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Marriott, and British Airways.

All this makes data protection a top priority both for large and small organizations. There are great services available on the market.

For corporate entities, the database contains information on 1.9 million domain names used in those email addresses.

The company's experts analyze each leak to filter out the rubbish and fakes created by "script kiddies", this is why there are no unnecessary alerts. Also, Breach Report meticulously approaches data security and regulatory requirements - for example, provides access to data exclusively to the owners and ensures GDPR compliance.
