Assignment
In 2017, one of the biggest cyber attacks ever to occur was caused by
the failure of the management and IT staff at a well-known, very large
enterprise to take the necessary action to prevent the hacking the personal
information of over 800 million customers. The ability of the black hats to
penetrate the technology portal at mega-giant Equifax and steal personal
information was determined to be the simple failure to apply a patch to
fix a known risk referred to as the Apache Struts vulnerability. An alert had
been promulgated and the employees at Equifax knew of the vulnerability, and
even ran some scans, but never applied the patch that would have prevented the
reconnaissance and penetration of the data farm at Equifax. The
credit-reporting agency had two months to apply the fix before the
cybercriminals began stealing the data.
