I'm not sure what's so hard to understand. A CBC reporter was able to access confidential data... that's a breach. And if you don't know what failed or how that breach occurred, maybe you shouldn't be in a business that involves sensitive personal information. |
What I simply don't get is what exactly has he done for the media to continuously give him the benefit of the doubt as much as he had when there are so many claims by this individual and site that are misleading or can seen as outright lies? I've never seen anything like it. Some of this can be validated or audited freely. The CDHN for example does not exist.
What part of the app's security features is actually working as described? The CBC journalist has personally validated that she could browse hundreds to thousands of accounts unencrypted with zero security, and inadvertently outed the identity of one redditor through the reporting. The breach is real. A breach is a security failure, it doesn't need to be necessarily be used maliciously to still be a breach.
