One of the most well-known examples is the Adobe Cyberattack in 2013. 2013 Adobe Cyberattack: Hackers stole personal data from 38 million Adobe users, including usernames, encrypted passwords, credit card details, and software code. This exposed security flaws, prompting authorities in 15 U.S. states to accuse Adobe of failing to protect customer data. Adobe agreed to pay $1 million in a legal settlement. As part of the deal, the company promised to improve security measures to prevent similar breaches in the future. The attack highlighted cybersecurity risks, especially as Adobe shifted t...

In 2016, hackers used Mirai malware to take over Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as routers, refrigerators, cars, medical devices, cameras, and other connected devices with weak passwords. Mirai scanned for IoT devices that still had their default username and password. Once it found them, it logged in, took control, and turned them i...

It was carried out by a very sophisticated group known as UNC2452. ✏️ The attackers added harmful code to authentic software updates for SolarWinds’ Orion platform. Because the updates were official and digitally signed, they appeared completely legitimate to users. This attack used a Trojan—a type of malware that looks safe but secretly carries harmful code. In this case, the Trojan was hidden inside a trusted, signed component of the Orion software. It embedded a backdoor, which is an attacker’s technique to keep hidden access to a compromised system after the initial breach. ✏️...

Sometimes, attackers have a specific goal, while other times, they use this strategy to affect multiple companies at once. Supply chain attacks on softwar...

This type of attack is called a supply chain attack, where hackers focus on companies that provide services to others. In this case, the attackers gained access by stealing login credentials from a subcontractor. This allowed them to install malicious software on multiple point-of-sale devices—used to log orders and process sales—enabling them to steal debit and credit card data from around 40 million customers within a few weeks. Although Target’s security system detected suspicious activity, it did not respond quickly enough. The attackers exploited third-party...

I would like to share a few thoughts about edge and cloud security. Are we truly protected? Thank you for taking the time to read the following article! 🛡️ Security in an Untrusted Environment Edge and cloud platforms operate in an untrusted world, where security must be a priority from the start—not an afterthought. Every step of the design process should integrate security considerations, including coding best practices, tools, and testing. ✏️ Layered Security Approach The most effective way to secure applications is by using multiple layers of defense. Each security tool plays a unique role, so combining various technologies helps safeguard Edge and Cloud platforms more comprehensively. ✏️ Comprehensive Protection Across Key Areas A secure application must address protec...
