Analysis: Is Chinese Database Exposure a Cause for Concern?

The latest edition of the ISMG Security Report analyzes whether a leaked database compiled by a Chinese company should be a cause for serious concern.

In this report, you'll hear (click on player beneath image to listen):

  • ISMG's Jeremy Kirk outline why he believes the concerns about a leaked database in China are overblown;
  • ISMG's Mathew Schwartz address the challenges around the process of vulnerability disclosure;
  • Denyette DePiero of the American Bankers Association review the security implications of social media apps being used for payments.

The ISMG Security Report appears on this and other ISMG websites on Fridays. Don't miss the Sept. 4 and Sept. 11 editions, which respectively discuss the lessons learned from Equifax's massive data breach three years ago and how ransomware gangs find fresh ways to make victims pay.
