Dear MEL Topic Readers,
We asked a hacker to try and steal a CNN tech reporter’s data. Here’s what happened
White knight is a person or thing that comes to someone’s aid. For example, when a company is facing a hostile takeover bid, white knight might make an acceptable counteroffer to block the bid. Interestingly, there is another “white -thing” that helps save companies. White hats are hackers who attack companies to help them protect from malicious hackers, or black hats. They run penetration tests to find where and how the companies are vulnerable to attackers who use various forms of deception like an app that disguises the voice to convince customer service agents to hand over private information. This kind of technique is often called social engineering. For example, a social engineer pretends to be a registered customer of an online shop customer and gets information like the home address and phone number of the customer. And surprisingly, it’s easy. Companies can make it more difficult, or defensive, to protect their customers’ information by double or triple their guards, like sending a verification code to the registered phone number or email address and have the caller read back or type it in. However, it might be taken as too cumbersome by most customers because they always want things to be easier and they want to be trusted.
How these white hats do their business?
Enjoy reading the article and watching the video to find how vulnerable your privacy could be.
