Recently, Atlassian and Envoy have been involved in a very public data breach, with each company pointing fingers at the other for the breach. This is an example of the very real danger that companies face when it comes to data security, and highlights the importance of making sure security protocols are in place before any data is shared.
The breach in question occurred due to a vulnerability in Envoy’s customer portal, which allowed access to Atlassian customer information. This information included passwords, credit card details, and other sensitive data. Unfortunately for both companies, the breach was exposed after someone posted customer information in the Facebook group What The Hack.
After the breach was publicized, both companies quickly pointed the finger at one another. Atlassian claimed the breach was due to Envoy’s failure to implement basic security practices, while Envoy argued that the customer portal was secured against attacks when the data was transferred.
However, both companies have since taken responsibility for the breach, saying they should have done more to protect customer information. In the wake of the incident, Envoy has implemented several new security measures and has pledged to ensure that customer information is more secure in the future. Atlassian, too, has implemented tighter security protocols to prevent further breaches.
Though the blame game between the two companies was short-lived, it highlights the fact that data breaches can cause serious difficulties for those involved. Companies need to be aware of the risks and understand the importance of putting security protocols in place before any data is transferred or shared. Breaches have the potential to damage a company’s reputation and make customers wary of doing business with them in the future. Security must remain a priority for all companies in order to protect both their brand and their customers.
