On Thursday, WebsitePlanet, together with researcher Jeremiah Fowler, revealed the discovery of an online database belonging to CVS Health. The database was not password-protected and had no form of authentication in place to prevent unauthorized entry. Upon examination of the database, the team found over one billion records that were connected to the US healthcare and pharmaceutical giant, which owns brands including CVS Pharmacy and Aetna. The database, 204GB in size, contained event and configuration data including production records of visitor IDs, session IDs, device access information – such as whether visitors to the firm’s domains used an iPhone or Android handset – as well as what the team calls a “blueprint” of how the logging system operated from the backend....

The AFP had predicted the rise, thanks to global police intelligence, and sent an urgent message to secondary and high schools in the country in early December. “We are seeing offshore criminal syndicates targeting a victim’s entire friend list,” Commander Hilda Sirec of the ACCCE said. “This type of financial sextortion involves victims being coerced into sending sexualised images or videos of themselves by online offenders, usually with the offender pretending to be another young person....

As the internet becomes more accessible to everyone, it is becoming a regular occurrence for authorities to be involved in cybercrime cases. This can include anything from local pranksters accessing internet-of-things devices in what is called ‘swatting’, to far-reaching international malware campaigns that are a matter of national security.

Authentication is a classic case in point – the standard advice to “pick strong passwords” dates to 1979, a time when many people were using hardcopy terminals and had no local computing or storage capability, and might have to remember three passwords....
