- The recently reported “mother of all breaches” is seen as affecting over 20 brands, with over 100 billion records leaked
- Attacks, like credential stuffing and denial of service, can compromise user data and make users vulnerable across multiple platforms and interfaces
- Sekur’s suite of services includes email, VPN, and messenger protection products, all designed to keep data safe using unique Swiss-hosted servers
Researchers are calling a recent cybersecurity attack the “mother of all data breaches,” with over 20 brands affected and over 100 billion records leaked. Cybernews Head of Security Research Mantas Sasnauskas implied that most of the population is likely to have been affected – with brands including Tencent, LinkedIn, X, Venmo, Canva, Apollo, and Adobe. Researchers said the compromised data set included usernames and passwords, setting the stage for a wide-scale attack (https://nnw.fm/QaslZ).
The attack can be especially dangerous for those using the same password across multiple accounts. If a hacker knows an email or username and password combination, attacks can target accounts using the same combination to gain access to more sensitive data, like email or bank accounts. This type of attack is called “credential stuffing,” where a hacked individual can have their accounts compromised across multiple services in a matter of minutes, creating a more devastating trail of destruction.
A recent attack on the website of the Pennsylvania’s state courts agency shows that no organization is immune to the threat of a cyberattack. The FBI calls the attack a “denial of service” cyberattack, where hackers flood the targeted host or network with traffic until the target cannot respond or crashes, preventing access for legitimate users. There is no report of court data being compromised, but the investigation is ongoing (https://nnw.fm/g4sVx).
As more people become vulnerable to cyberattacks, Sekur Private Data (CSE: SKUR) (OTCQB: SWISF) (FRA: GDT0), a cybersecurity and internet privacy provider of Swiss-hosted solutions for secure and private communications, has a suite of services specifically catering to keeping information safe. The company chose Switzerland to locate its data storage because of its neutrality, independence, strong privacy laws, long-standing political stability, and excellent international relations.
Sekur’s suite of cybersecurity services includes:
- SekurMail(R) with SekurSend/SekurReply – an encrypted email service offering a private, safe, and powerful tool to communicate with everyone within or outside the Sekur ecosystem. SekurMail protects personal information and communications from being accessed by unauthorized parties.
- SekurVPN(R) – a secure, encrypted connection between client’s devices and the internet, giving safe access to the web by routing connections through the company’s wholly-owned Swiss servers.

- SekurMessenger(R) – a Swiss-hosted private and secure messaging communications app that provides secure and private chat, self-deleting chat, voice recording, and file transfer via any mobile device, tablet, or desktop computer.
