Everything Breach Observer has reported about access control: 5 stories, newest first. Part of our Data Breaches coverage.
Data exfiltration often succeeds because organisations focus on perimeter defence while ignoring the silent movement of files across approved internal channels and trusted cloud services.
Most employee data breaches stem from misconfigured access controls rather than malicious intent, leaving sensitive records exposed to unintended internal viewers.
Token theft allows attackers to bypass password checks entirely by hijacking the session credential that proves your identity to the system.
Most broken access control flaws stem from missing server-side checks, not weak passwords, meaning authentication alone fails to secure data.
Unmapped data creates blind spots that allow attackers to move laterally without triggering detection systems, turning standard logs into useless noise.
