Let’s discuss some realities of cyberspace that you might not be aware of, and it’s no joke!
Reality 1: Any data breach reported in the news has likely occurred much earlier than we assume, and companies are often already aware of it. However, they may not disclose the breach for two main reasons:
a) They wait and attempt to conceal it, hoping it won’t be noticed in the public domain, and everything will be fine without anyone knowing.
b) They hide it to maintain their integrity in the public domain, as the trust of clients and people would be lost if it were disclosed.
Reality 2: When a meme posted by someone associated with a particular brand goes viral on social media, the brand may respond with humor. However, when a breach occurs, they often fail to acknowledge it, even if it’s covered in the news (as reported by Forbes).
Reality 3: Companies like boAt Lifestyle and many others often neglect to respond to security researchers or bug hunters when they report vulnerabilities. This has been documented through complaints from numerous researchers.
Reality 4: Many companies prioritize branding and customer acquisition over the security of their network systems and computers—the very foundation of their business. They lack effective security teams responsible for securing their infrastructure.
Reality 5: When it comes to security, it’s best not to rely on it entirely. The latest Android and iOS systems are already vulnerable, with exploits being sold privately to major buyers. The public only becomes aware of these vulnerabilities when they accidentally or intentionally become public knowledge.
