In our business we deal with the most sensitive information and have helped save many companies from extreme public embarrassment, harsh legal action, and immense monetary lost. Due to the sensitive nature of our work we cannot provide exact details on any particular case, however, below is a short sampling of our most recent success stories. If you are interested in working with us to help protect your organization and its reputation please reach out for a free consultation.
I. Total Breach of Confidentiality
High Profile Lobbyist Organization
A high profile lobbyist organization based in Washington D.C. maintained a publicly accessible server containing highly sensitive, confidential records centering on their internal operations, private meetings, and influential members. We discovered a method to bypass all security measures and exfiltrate the documents from the server resulting in the exposure of internal memos, private transcripts, and the personal contact details for some of the nation’s most powerful and influential individuals. Had the information been stolen by malicious actors it would have caused immense reputational damage to the organization and resulted in the doxing and harrassment of several hundred prominent leaders and influencers.
II. Over a Dozen High Risk Vulnerabilities
Multi-Billion Dollar Production Studio
Working with the security team of a multi-billion dollar production studio headquartered in the United States we identified over a dozen different high risk vulnerabilities across this organization’s international digital network. The security flaws included leaked employee credentials with access to sensitive information, the takeover of multiple recognizable web domains, and the compromise of many portions of several critical websites. Each vulnerability was discovered, verified, and diagnosed by our team with the final reports being sent onto the company’s internal security team who acted swiftly to patch the flaws and push updates to their system.
III. Entire Customer Database Exposed
National Clothing Manufacturer & Distributor
A national clothing manufacturer and distributor based out of California was unintentionally leaking their entire customer databased, which included a treasure trove of personally identifiable information (PII) such as the customer’s full name, telephone number, physical address, email address, IP address, and past order details. Our team identified multiple points of entry for exfiltrating the information and worked closely with the company’s operations manager to ultimately close this unprecedented data leak. Had a malicious attacker exploited this vulnerability it would have caused irreversible harm to the company and its customers.
IV. Credit Card Transactions Leaked
Major Digital Streaming Service
A major digital streaming service was hosting confidential credit card transaction records on an unsecured, public server. This massive data leak included hundreds of thousands of credit card transaction records, tens of thousands of personal customer details, and years of private financial records for the company. Our team identified the data breach and assisted the company in removing the information from public access. Had malicious parties or competitors obtained this information it would have caused incredible monetary damage to the company who earns much of their revenue through their premium streaming service.
V. Total Network Compromise
Highly Reputable Technology Company
A highly reputable and well respected technology company based in California was attacked by an invisible, dormant malware installed on their internal network. The malware had been dormant for three years when our researchers discovered its existance. The malicious software created a backdoor into the company’s internal network exposing financial records, stored cryptocurrency, customer details, employee information, and other confidential records. Additionally, the malware provided administrative level control over the organization’s website and servers. We worked closely with the Information Technology Department and the Operations Director to fully irradicate the malware. Had a malicious hacker accessed and actived the dormat malware they would have been able to wipe over twenty years of irreplaceable proprietary data compiled by the organization.
VI. Administrative Accounts Compromised
National Historical Society
A national historical society responsible for maintaining records purtenant to the history of the United States had recently upgraded their website and membership management system in an attempt to modernize their over 100-year-old organization. At the time sufficient security checks were not made and our organization discovered multiple points of attack allowing someone to easily compromise administrative accounts within the system. Our team helped diagnose the root cause of the vulnerabilities and provide mitigation recommendations to their information technology department. Had a malicious attacker exploited these vulnerabilities irreplacable membership records would have been destroyed and extensive vandalism of the organization’s website would have occured.
