Article: Attackers are using APIs to target your business
his week’s first article is Forbes coverage on how attackers are using APIs to target businesses. The article cites the findings of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) into a major breach at a US telecommunications company where the PII of over 37 million user accounts was leaked in a breach. The root cause was found to be an attacker using an API to exfiltrate the data from their systems.
