In May 2017, it was revealed that Equifax has joined other high-profile companies including Marriott, Home Depot Inc., Target Corporation, Anthem, Blue Cross, and Yahoo! as a victim of cyberattacks. Equifax is one of the largest credit-rating companies in the United States and operates or has investments in 24 countries and employs over 11,000 employees worldwide. Hackers gained access to the Equifax network in mid-May 2017 and attacked the company for 76 days. In July 29, 2017, Equifax staff discovered the intrusion during routine checks of the operating status and configuration of IT systems. This was 76 days after the initial attack. Hackers accessed Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, and some driver's license numbers and credit card numbers, which impacted over 148 million people. The security system at the company did not keep up with the aggressive company growth and the company failed to modernize its security system. According to the report the company did not take action to address vulnerabilities that it was aware of prior to the attack. According to Equifax, hackers exploited a software vulnerability known as Apache Struts CVE-2017-5638. This vulnerability was disclosed back in March 2017. There were clear and simple instructions of how to fix the problem from the software provider Apache. It was the responsibility of Equifax to follow the recommendations offered by Apache right away. According to Apache, software patches were made available in March two months before hackers began accessing Equifax data. In addition to the previously mentioned vulnerability, the hackers found a file containing unencrypted usernames and passwords. Hackers also found an expired security certificate on a device for monitoring network traffic. This indicated that Equifax did not detect that data was being stolen. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) report indicated that the hack took place because Equifax failed to segment its databases into smaller networks. This, in turn, allowed the attackers a direct and easy access to all of its customers data. As part of fixing the security issues the company hired a new chief information security officer, Jamil Farshchi, and has invested $200 million on data security infrastructure. Question: What did Apache Struts have to do with this high profile hack of Equifax? Think of other companies that recently dealt with the same issue (Target, Mastercard, Yahoo) - what digital marketing efforts do/should companies make to regain customer trust and online sales?.

The Equifax Data Breach Case
Page 1 of 4
Equifax, along with Experian and TransUnion, is one of the "Big Three" credit reporting agencies
in the United States. All three companies offer credit monitoring services as their core business.
There are many regulations and restrictions governing the collection and use of credit data, but
these companies have enjoyed stable sales and profits for many years. Equifax is based in
Atlanta and its long history traces back to 1913. It employs over 10,400 employees worldwide
and maintains data on 820 million consumers.
All three agencies exchange data with banks and other financial company’s that extend credit.
They develop "credit scores" for how well consumer has handled his or her credit and debt
obligations. This score and the accompanying credit report detailing a person's credit history are
then sold to banks, credit unions, retail credit card Issuers, auto lenders, mortgage lenders, and
others who rely on this information when they make loans, issue credit cards, or offer
consumers mortgages and home equity loans. It Is also used by banks to check this information
before issuing bank credit cards such as Visa or MasterCard. Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion
have most likely compiled credit histories for nearly every adult U.S. citizen.53
In early September 2017, Equifax announced that hackers had gained illicit access to the
personal information of 143 million people. The data included social security numbers, birth
dates, phone numbers, email addresses, driving license numbers, and, in some cases, credit card
numbers. The total number expanded to 148 million by March 201ij. The pilfering of social
security numbers was particularly worrisome since that number in the wrong hands creates
opportunities for identity theft and other types of fraud.
The Equifax data breach is one of the three worst data breaches- in U.S. history along with
Yahoo and Marriott. The Marriott data h ck of 2018 affected 500 million users. In September
2016, Yahoo revealed a serious data security breach that had occurred 2 years earlier when
500,000 million records were compromised. Several months later, in December, 2016, Yahoo
informed its users of another newly discovered data breach. That breach occurred in 2013 and
affected more than 1 billion Yahoo users. However, despite the magnitude of the Yahoo and
Marriott breaches, the Equifax data breach is considered more damaging because social security
numbers and birth dates were involved. As one security expert observed, "This data is the key to
everyone's files and interactions with financial services, government, and health care."
After the announcement was made, the credit reporting agency was heavily criticized for
waiting until September 7th to reveal this data breach to the public. This breach took place in
March 2017 and went undetected for. almost 3 months. It was discovered in late July, but the
company decided to withhold.

Executive Summary
On September 7, 2017, Equifax announced a cybersecurity incident affecting 143 million
consumers. This number eventually grew to 148 million—nearly half the U.S. population and 56
percent of American adults. This staff report explains the circumstances of the cyberattack
against Equifax, one of the largest consumer reporting agencies (CRA) in the world.
Equifax is one of several large CRAs in the United States. CRAs gather consumer data,
analyze it to create credit scores and detailed reports, and then sell the reports to third parties.
Consumers do not voluntarily provide information to CRAs, nor do they have the ability to opt
out of this information collection process. Though CRAs provide a service in facilitating
information sharing for financial transactions, they do so by amassing large amounts of sensitive
personal data—a high-value target for cyber criminals.1 Consequently, CRAs have a heightened
responsibility to protect consumer data by providing best-in-class data security.
In 2005, former Equifax Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Richard Smith embarked on an
aggressive growth strategy, leading to the acquisition of multiple companies, information
technology (IT) systems, and data. While the acquisition strategy was successful for Equifax’s
bottom line and stock price, this growth brought increasing complexity to Equifax’s IT systems,
and expanded data security risks. In August 2017, three weeks before Equifax publicly
announced the breach, Smith boasted Equifax was managing “almost 1,200 times” the amount of
data held in the Library of Congress every day.2
Equifax, however, failed to implement an adequate security program to protect this
sensitive data. As a result, Equifax allowed one of the largest data breaches in U.S. history. Such
a breach was entirely preventable.
On March 7, 2017, a critical vulnerability in the Apache Struts software was publicly
disclosed. Equifax used Apache Struts to run certain applications on legacy operating systems.

Data Security Read the article below and answer the following questions: Answer the following
questions: Identify and describe the security and control weaknesses discussed in this case. What
management, organization, and technology factors contributed to these problems? Discuss the
impact of the Equifax hack. How can future data breaches like this one be prevented? Is the
Equifax Hack the Worst Everand Why? Equifax (along with TransUnion and Experian) is one of
the three main U.S. credit bureaus, which maintain vast repositories of personal and financial
data used by lenders to determine credit-worthiness when consumers apply for a credit card,
mortgage, or other loans. The company handles data on more than 820 million consumers and
more than 91 million businesses worldwide and manages a database with employee information
from more than 7,100 employers, according to its website. These data are provided by banks and
other companies directly to Equifax and the other credit bureaus. Consumers have little choice
over how credit bureaus collect and store their personal and financial data. Equifax has more data
on you than just about anyone else. If any company needs airtight security for its information
systems, it should be credit reporting bureaus such as Equifax. Unfortunately, this has not been
the case. On September 7, 2017 Equifax reported that from mid-May through July 2017 hackers
had gained access to some of its systems and potentially the personal information of about 143
million U.S. consumers, including Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers. Credit
card numbers for 209,000 consumers and personal information used in disputes for 182,000
people were also compromised. Equifax reported the breach to law enforcement and also hired a
cybersecurity firm to investigate. The size of the breach, importance, and quantity of personal
information compromised by this breach are considered unprecedented. Immediately after
Equifax discovered the breach, three top executives, including Chief Financial Officer John
Gamble, sold shares worth a combined $1.8 million, according to Securities and Exchange
Commission filings. A company spokesman claimed the three executives had no knowledge that
an intrusion had occurred at the time they sold their shares on August 1 and August 2.
Bloomberg reported that the share sales were not planned in advance. On October 4, 2017
Equifax CEO Richard Smith testified before Congress and apologized for the breach. The size of
the Equifax data breach was second only to the Yahoo breach of 2013, which affected data of all
of Yahoo's 3 billion customers. The Equifax breach was especially damaging because of the
amount of sensitive personal and financial data stored by Equifax that was stolen, and the role
such data play in securing consumers' bank accounts, medical histories, and access to financing.

It’s an all Equifax breach/Apache Struts/ CVE-2017-5638 issue of Open Source Insight this week as we examine how an unpatched open source flaw and an apparent lack of diligence exposed sensitive data for over 140 million US consumers. We look at what happened, how you can see if you’ve been affected by the breach, and discuss whether you should replace Struts with another framework.
A Case Study Analysis Of The Equifax Data Breach
This document provides a case study analysis of the 2017 Equifax data breach which compromised the personal information of 148 million US citizens. Key factors that contributed to the breach included Equifax failing to patch its systems for a known vulnerability (Apache Struts CVE-2017-5638) despite being notified by multiple organizations. Equifax also mishandled its response to the breach, directing victims to fake settlement sites and using easily guessable PINs, drawing widespread criticism. The breach highlighted issues with credit reporting agencies and incident response processes.

We look at what happened, how you can see if you’ve been affected by the breach, and discuss whether you should replace Struts with another framework.
A Case Study Analysis Of The Equifax Data Breach
This document provides a case study analysis of the 2017 Equifax data breach which compromised the personal information of 148 million US citizens. Key factors that contributed to the breach included Equifax failing to patch its systems for a known vulnerability (Apache Struts CVE-2017-5638) despite being notified by multiple organizations. Equifax also mishandled its response to the breach, directing victims to fake settlement sites and using easily guessable PINs, drawing widespread criticism. The breach highlighted issues with credit reporting agencies and incident response processes.
Dealing with Data Breaches Amidst Changes In Technology
The document discusses data breaches and cybersecurity measures to prevent them. It begins by defining a data breach and describing major causes from cases at companies like Adobe, eBay, Facebook, and Myspace. It then discusses types of data breaches like ransomware, denial of service attacks, phishing, malware, insider threats, physical theft, and employee errors. Finally, it proposes cybersecurity measures organized into technical practices, organizational practices, and policies/standards to help prevent future breaches.

COSRI research director Chris Fearon makes the case that Equifax was either unaware of or slow to respond to reports of known critical vulnerabilities in their system, and as a result had not upgraded to safer versions. That opinion was later proven out by Congressional hearings into the breach, as Fred Bals relates in his blog on whether SAST and DAST fell down on the job for Equifax. Black Duck VP and General Counsel, Matt Jacobs partners with Irwin Mitchell’s Dan Headley to review what GDPR will mean for open source code. Is open source more dangerous than Windows? And Larry Ellison claims Oracle could have saved Equifax from much heartache in this week’s open source security and cybersecurity news wrap.

In 2017, there were over 1,765 data breach incidents compromising over 2.6 billion records. The largest breaches stemmed from poor security practices and accidental data exposures, rather than external hacking attacks. Notable breaches included the Equifax breach of 147 million Americans' personal data due to unpatched vulnerabilities, and accidental exposures of personal data by Deep Root Analytics, River City Media, and Alteryx due to misconfigured cloud storage settings. Looking ahead, new regulations like the EU's GDPR have the potential to increase transparency around data breaches.
Critical Update Needed: Cybersecurity Expertise in the Boardroom
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?
Primer on cybersecurity for boards of directors
The document provides guidance for boards of directors on overseeing cybersecurity at their companies. It discusses recent high-profile cyber attacks and data breaches to illustrate the importance and challenges of cybersecurity oversight. It outlines lessons learned from these incidents regarding assessing risks, responding to breaches, disclosure obligations, and risks from third parties. The document then provides practical considerations for directors, including understanding their duties; assessing risks, priorities, and response plans; overseeing culture, strategies and metrics; and staying informed of developments.

The New York Times also experienced a sophisticated months-long hack in January that compromised the systems and passwords of 53 employees. Additionally, breaches at Facebook, Evernote, Vendini, Livingsocial, and the Washington State court system exposed personal information of millions of users in total. The widespread breaches highlighted ongoing vulnerabilities despite security measures, and demonstrated that attackers will find ways to penetrate defenses to access sensitive data.
Top data breaches in 2013
The document discusses several major data breaches that occurred in 2013. Twitter suffered a breach of over 250,000 user accounts in February. The New York Times was targeted by a sophisticated hacker in January who broke into the systems and accessed 53 employees' computers. Facebook had a bug expose the email addresses and phone numbers of 6 million users in June. Evernote had to reset all 50 million user passwords after a network breach. Vendini, LivingSocial, and the Washington State court system also experienced breaches exposing personal information of thousands to millions of users and customers. The document outlines the scale of the breaches and security failures that led to the loss of private information in 2013.
Case 11. What exactly occurred Twitter is one of popular soci.docx
Case 1
1. What exactly occurred?
Twitter is one of popular social media that targeted to be hacked.
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 ...

You must write about a real-life network/system attack that you found through your internet research. Failure to discuss a targeted attack and cite/reference the news source will result in a 0 for this entire discussion.
I am adding my classmate's response for the above question. You will have to write response for each post in 150 words. No references needed.
Discussion 1:
Technological growth and the internet age has brought with it increased cases of cybercrimes where cybercriminals target personal information of governments, private firms, and even individual consumers. The value of data and its sensitivity to persons who own it have made cybercrimes and system intrusions very costly for the victims.
In 2017, Equifax broke the news of the system intrusion it had suffered as a company and the resultant exposure of data for approximately 143 million citizens of the United States. The other citizens who had been affected were UK citizens and Canadians, whose specific numbers were not revealed. The breach was noted to have affected online web application only with core consumer database untouched. The information targeted the names, dates of birth, residential addresses, social security numbers, and driver’s license numbers of the consumers.
The company responded to the breach by setting up a website from which customers would be able to tell if they were affected and the potential impact that it may have if their data was accessed (Nurse, 2017). Other measures included the company asking customers to register with their TrustedID premiere, which is a service used in credit monitoring from which they had to agree to a compulsory arbitration clause that would not apply to claims that may have originated from the security breach.
In the wake of the attack, and in a bid to forestall such attacks in the future, Equifax employed a new chief information security officer and rolled out comprehensive efforts to change their approach to data security. Equifax also invested more than $200 million on infrastructures that would help in securing user data, and the chief information security officer since reiterated that the company had allocated him enough resources to ensure they build hack-proof security systems. The company in the process prioritized fundamentals, and essential projects first given the need for an overhaul of most systems like vulnerability management and patching processes.

What Makes Web Applications Desirable For Hackers
Unethical hackers target web applications for several reasons including financial gain, ideology, fun, and espionage. They communicate and sell stolen data on dark web forums using cryptocurrency, with some data selling for as little as $10. To protect applications, developers should follow best practices like the OWASP Top 10, implement web application firewalls, conduct security scans and assessments, and formalize a secure software development lifecycle.

Case 1
1. What exactly occurred?
Twitter is one of popular social media that targeted to be hacked.
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.

The value of data and its sensitivity to persons who own it have made cybercrimes and system intrusions very costly for the victims.
In 2017, Equifax broke the news of the system intrusion it had suffered as a company and the resultant exposure of data for approximately 143 million citizens of the United States. The other citizens who had been affected were UK citizens and Canadians, whose specific numbers were not revealed. The breach was noted to have affected online web application only with core consumer database untouched. The information targeted the names, dates of birth, residential addresses, social security numbers, and driver’s license numbers of the consumers.
The company responded to the breach by setting up a website from which customers would be able to tell if they were affected and the potential impact that it may have if their data was accessed (Nurse, 2017). Other measures included the company asking customers to register with their TrustedID premiere, which is a service used in credit monitoring from which they had to agree to a compulsory arbitration clause that would not apply to claims that may have originated from the security breach.
In the wake of the attack, and in a bid to forestall such attacks in the future, Equifax employed a new chief information security officer and rolled out comprehensive efforts to change their approach to data security. Equifax also invested more than $200 million on infrastructures that would help in securing user data, and the chief information security officer since reiterated that the company had allocated him enough resources to ensure they build hack-proof security systems. The company in the process prioritized fundamentals, and essential projects first given the need for an overhaul of most systems like vulnerability management and patching processes.

What Makes Web Applications Desirable For Hackers
Unethical hackers target web applications for several reasons including financial gain, ideology, fun, and espionage. They communicate and sell stolen data on dark web forums using cryptocurrency, with some data selling for as little as $10. To protect applications, developers should follow best practices like the OWASP Top 10, implement web application firewalls, conduct security scans and assessments, and formalize a secure software development lifecycle.

Open Source Insight: CVE–2017-9805, Equifax Breach & Wacky Open Source LicensesBlack Duck by Synopsys
Our vulnerability of the week is CVE-2017-9805, which resides in Apache Struts’ REST plugin, a must-have in almost all Struts enterprise deployments. Attackers can exploit the bug via HTTP requests or via any other socket connection, with a public exploit published on Thursday. Happily, on Monday the Apache Struts team released Apache Struts v2.5.13, which includes a fix for CVE-2017-9805. As always, the byword of the week is “patch and update.”
Also looming large in this week’s news is the massive cyber-break-in at Equifax, where highly sensitive personal and financial information for around 143 million U.S. consumers (the editor apparently being among those affected) was compromised. News bytes-July 2013
The document reports on several cybersecurity incidents:
- A Pakistani hacker defaced several Indian government websites in Goa.
- Edward Snowden confirmed that the US and Israel co-developed the Stuxnet malware.
- Anonymous hackers leaked documents from Spain's governing People's Party website.
- A security report found mobile malware increased 614% over the past year.
Application Security: Safeguarding Data, Protecting Reputations
With cybercrime (like denial of service, malware, phishing, and SQL injection) looming large in our digitized world, penetration testing - and code and application level security testing (SAST and DAST) - are essential for organizations to identify security loopholes in applications and beyond. We provide a guide to the salient standards and techniques for full-spectrum testing to safeguard your data - and reputation.

The single largest threat your organization faces today is network breach. Spear-phishing, poisoned search results, drive-by downloads, and legitimate sites being compromised to push malware are all part of our current reality. The most successful and common attacks vectors stem from targeted attacks on your employees. Organizations need to utilize solutions that protect their network from user error and support requirements for continuous monitoring, real-time situational awareness and providing actionable threat intelligence for their security teams.

Please, be very specific. Explain very detail and step 44. The Watson Foundation, a private not-
for-profit entity, starts 2024 with cash of $100,000; contributions receivable (net) of $200,000;
investments of $300,000; and land, buildings, and equipment (net) of $200,000. Net assets
without donor restrictions were reported as $400,000, the same figure as the net assets with
donor restrictions. Of the restricted net assets, $300,000 was purpose restricted, whereas the
other $100,000 had to be held permanently, although the subsequently earned income is without
restriction. Fifty percent of the purpose-restricted net assets had to be used to help pay for a new
building. The remainder was restricted to the payment of officer salaries. Donors made no
stipulations about the eventual reporting of buildings and other long-lived assets when acquired.
Watson has one program service (health care) and two supporting services (fundraising and
administrative). During the current year, Watson Foundation has the following transactions: (1)
Computes interest of $20,000 on the unrestricted contribution receivable. (2) Receives cash of
$100,000 from the contributions receivable and wrote off another $4,000 as uncollectible. (3)

In May 2017, it was revealed that Equifax has joined other high-prof.pdf
- 1. In May 2017, it was revealed that Equifax has joined other high-profile companies including Marriott, Home Depot Inc., Target Corporation, Anthem, Blue Cross, and Yahoo! as a victim of cyberattacks. Equifax is one of the largest credit-rating companies in the United States and operates or has investments in 24 countries and employs over 11,000 employees worldwide. Hackers gained access to the Equifax network in mid-May 2017 and attacked the company for 76 days. In July 29, 2017, Equifax staff discovered the intrusion during routine checks of the operating status and configuration of IT systems. This was 76 days after the initial attack. Hackers accessed Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, and some driver's license numbers and credit card numbers, which impacted over 148 million people. The security system at the company did not keep up with the aggressive company growth and the company failed to modernize its security system. According to the report the company did not take action to address vulnerabilities that it was aware of prior to the attack. According to Equifax, hackers exploited a software vulnerability known as Apache Struts CVE-2017-5638. This vulnerability was disclosed back in March 2017. There were clear and simple instructions of how to fix the problem from the software provider Apache. It was the responsibility of Equifax to follow the recommendations offered by Apache right away. According to Apache, software patches were made available in March two months before hackers began accessing Equifax data. In addition to the previously mentioned vulnerability, the hackers found a file containing unencrypted usernames and passwords. Hackers also found an expired security certificate on a device for monitoring network traffic. This indicated that Equifax did not detect that data was being stolen. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) report indicated that the hack took place because Equifax failed to segment its databases into smaller networks. This, in turn, allowed the attackers a direct and easy access to all of its customers data. As part of fixing the security issues the company hired a new chief information security officer, Jamil Farshchi, and has invested $200 million on data security infrastructure. Question: What did Apache Struts have to do with this high profile hack of Equifax? Think of other companies that recently dealt with the same issue (Target, Mastercard, Yahoo) - what digital marketing efforts do/should companies make to regain customer trust and online sales?
