Data breach
A data breach occurs when cyber criminals gain unauthorized access to a computer system or network and steal private data. Some of the largest data breaches include Yahoo (1 billion users in 2016), MySpace (360 million users in 2016), and LinkedIn (100 million users in 2016). For example, in 2018 hackers were able to compromise the Aadhaar database in India containing biometric and identification data on 1.1 billion citizens and sell the data for under $10. Recent data breach news includes a State Bank of India server being left unprotected exposing data of 422 million customers, and dating apps revealing users' precise locations threatening their safety. Prevention methods include inventorying and safeguarding data, updating security procedures, and keeping
Data Breach
This document discusses data breaches and cybersecurity. It lists types of personal information commonly searched for in data breaches. It then discusses the targets of data breaches such as social media users, banks, organizations, and intelligence agencies. The document lists some common causes of data breaches like vulnerabilities, cyber criminals, human error, and malware. It provides examples of major data breaches at Yahoo, eBay, Equifax, Facebook, and Uber. Finally, it outlines some prevention methods like protecting information, reducing data transfer, restricting downloads, using good passwords, automating security, and defining accessibility policies.
Online Identity Theft
Online identity theft has risen significantly in recent years as more personal information is available online. Criminals can steal identities by hacking databases or tricking users into providing sensitive details. Common tactics include phishing scams, where users are fooled into sharing financial information, and pharming, which hijacks domain names to steal data. To stay safe, experts recommend being wary of unsolicited requests for personal information and ensuring websites are secure before entering any details.

What is a Data Leak?
Information is power, it always has been. Wars have been won and lost based on intel gained and lost. Physical information and data are what led to the invention of espionage and spies. Over the years, as with everything else, information has shifted to the digital space too. Now, most sensitive data is encrypted and stored either on a remote database or on a cloud, either way, accessible through computers.
Type of Threat Actor
The document defines and describes several types of cyber threat actors: hacktivists who conduct cyber protests; cyber terrorists who use networks to spread propaganda and plan attacks; organized hackers who target networks for financial gain through theft of personally identifiable or financial data; script kiddies who have little skill and rely on pre-existing tools; insider threats who are current or former employees with malicious intent; and state-sponsored hackers directed by governments to access other nations' classified information.

Critical Update Needed: Cybersecurity Expertise in the BoardroomStanford GSB Corporate Governance Research Initiative
By David F. Larcker, Peter C. Reiss, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series, November 16, 2017
The board of directors is expected to ensure that management has identified and developed processes to mitigate risks facing the organization, including risks arising from data theft and the loss of information. Unfortunately, recent experience suggests that companies are not doing a sufficient job of securing this data. In this Closer Look, we examine they types of cyberattacks that occur and how companies respond to them.
We ask:
• What steps can the board take to prevent, monitor, and mitigate data theft?
• What data, metrics, and information should board members review to satisfy themselves that management has taken proper steps to minimize cyber risks?
• What qualifications should a board member have in order to constructively contribute to boardroom discussions on cybersecurity?
• How difficult is it to find board candidates with these skills?

- 2013: Hackers gained access to payment card information for up to 110 million Target customers through compromised third-party vendors.
Combating Phishing Attacks
Phishing attacks are a major problem for organizations, as most data breaches start with a phishing email. Attackers use sophisticated social engineering techniques to target individuals through email, websites, USB drives, phone calls, and social media. When users fall for these attacks by clicking links or opening attachments, their devices become compromised and allow attackers to access organizational networks and steal confidential data. To protect against phishing, organizations must implement security awareness training for employees and multilayered technical defenses.

The social network said in that approximately 250,000 user accounts were potentially compromised, with attackers gaining access to information including user names and email addresses. The company first detected signs of an attack earlier in the week, which led to an investigation and the discovery of a larger breach. The company detected unusual access patterns that led to identify unauthorized access attempts to Twitter user data. They discovered one live attack and were able to shut it down in process moments later. However, their investigation has thus far indicated that the attackers may have had access to limited user information. Twitter has reset the passwords and revoked session tokens, which allow user to stay logged into the service without reentering a password, for all of these accounts. Affected users will not be able to log in and will receive an e-mail instructing them to reset their password.
2. How was the company affected?
Twitter reports that 250,000 user accounts may have compromised. The company is able to detect the hacker immediately and send e-mail to the affected users instructing them to reset their passwords. They also recommend all users to create strong passwords and disable Java in their browsers.
3. What (if any) measures has the company taken since the breach to prevent future similar incidents?
The company offers tips for all of its users going forward, including using strong passwords that mix numbers and symbols with upper- and lowercase letters, not using the same password for multiple accounts, update and upgrade antivirus software and disabling Java. The company also provides tips to keep the account secure and also steps to take if your account has been compromised.
4. In your opinion, did the company have sufficient security safeguards in place prior to the breach?
In my opinion, Twitter has sufficient security safeguards in place prior to the breach. Twitter is able to detect the attacker before they get through all 200 million monthly active users. 250,000 accounts of affected users is a small amount comparing to the number of Twitter active users. After they notice the attack, the company have been reset the password of affected users and send them e-mail to change their password. I believed that after the breach Twitter would be more aware of the security protection.
Case 2
1. What exactly occurred?
Google detected a coordinated attempt by Chinese entities to compromise the accounts of Chinese dissidents. David Drummond, Google’s chief counsel, said, “A primary goal of the attackers was accessing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists.” According to George Kurtz at McAfee, the attacks were part of a large-scale, well-organized operation called Aurora. As a result, Google has stopped censoring its search results in China, and has considered pulling out of the country entir ...

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
