This is far too common. People don’t realize that if their server or their network is not secure, then they might as well just hand their data over to a hacker on a silver hard drive! (Pun)
Apparently a company in Canada that stores data for large automotive companies has effectively left their server open with minimal authentication and full read/write permissions!
At the end of the day, if your server dies – Replace it. If your network goes down – You can get it back up. If your security settings are too high – Alter them.
If your Data is taken, encrypted or deleted – You’re done. Game over, start again!
