How Cybersecurity Is Evolving: The Real Lesson of Machine Learning

Even worse, how often do we hear about major data breaches with unprotected or misconfigured servers? Here's an example just last week where records for 57 million American residents were revealed by a search engine that scans for connected devices and open servers. It found at least three IP addresses with identical clusters misconfigured for public access. With 73GB of data, the service held data on almost 57 million US citizens, containing information including first and last name, employers, job title, email, address, state, ZIP code, phone number, and IP address. Another index of the same database included over 25 million business records, which held details on companies including employee counts, revenue numbers, and carrier routes.
