#Data for #financial #markets includes closing prices and reference data, which collectors typically sell to service providers. These #providers then sell that data to end users like #banks, #brokerage #houses, #fund #managers and #hedgefund managers. The large quantity of data involved creates challenges such as #intellectual property rights and #security vulnerabilities. For example, #datacollectors must ensure they have #legal rights to the data. They must also detect and remove any #malware from the data.

2.7 Billion total records were exposed from the US National Public Data,  there are some caveats with regard to the integrity of the full body of data. That was from an attack that happened on December 2023, but the data started to be sold in April 2024 and then a free download post of parts of the data in August 2024. Hornetsecurity explored this topic in a recent podcast episode and now in this new blog post https://lnkd.in/edn7PxXb #cybersecurityawarenessmonth #npddatabreach #hornetsecurity #protectyourdata

Ever wonder why I know about JoJo Siwa? Me neither. But somehow that info seeps into my brain uninvited. Meanwhile, actually important stuff like "Hey, your entire family's personal data just got leaked to hackers" barely makes a blip. Yep, you read that right. The biggest data breach in history just happened, affecting up to 2.9 BILLION people. Names, addresses, social security numbers - everything needed to steal your identity is now out there. Scary stuff, I know. But don't panic - there are steps you can take to protect yourself and your family. That's why Jacob Espinoza and I brought security expert The Secure Dad, LLC onto the Dad and Company podcast this week. Andy Murphy breaks down: - Why freezing your credit (and your kids' credit) is a necessity - Red flags to watch for in your kids online interactions - How predators are evolving their tactics (hint: forget stranger danger, worry about Roblox) It ain't exactly feel-good listening. But as dads, we gotta stay informed. The best part, Andy explains it all without going full doomsday prepper on us. Just practical advice delivered with a calm demeanor.

Then a story that will make the blood boil of anyone who’s been let go during the ongoing waves of tech layoffs. A Cyber security giant tells us why large language models can never be secure. And we end with what we would almost call an obscene invasion of privacy from a collaboration tool that we all used to trust.
