Below is an enterprise blog from Dana Tamir, Director of Product Marketing, Trusteer, which discusses the need for enterprise credentials protection.
The Daily Telegraph is the latest victim in a series of high-profile attacks against media organizations. The group that is behind these attacks, the ‘Syrian Electronic Army’ (SEA), has hijacked Twitter accounts and online operations of several media organizations, including the Financial Times, The Guardian, Associated Press, Al Jazeera, the BBC, and even the satirical newspaper ‘The Onion’. Hacking into Twitter accounts provides the hacktivist group with a new way to influence global agendas and censor the press. But the risk can be much higher. If instead of targeting Twitter accounts the hackers take over enterprise employee accounts, and access critical enterprise systems, the impact to the organization can be devastating.
