Exploit: Hacking/Database Intrusion
Robinhood: Investment App
Risk to Small Business: 1.552 = Extreme Robinhood informed its users last week that hackers had obtained access to funds and information in some of its accounts. The firm claims that there was no intrusion and that customer email addresses were compromised outside of the app, giving cybercriminals the ability to steal money and data, but investigators and clients say that’s not possible, citing the fact that most accounts were protected with MFA.
Individual Risk: 1.412 = Extreme Personal and financial information about users was accessible and potentially stolen by hackers, and some users had money stolen directly from their accounts. Users should assume that their accounts have been compromised and act accordingly.
Customers Impacted: 2,000
How it Could Affect Your Customers’ Business: Providing services that use highly sensitive information implies that you’re using the best technology to keep that data safe – especially at a fintech startup.
Risk Levels:
1 - 1.5 = Extreme Risk
1.51 - 2.49 = Severe Risk
2.5 - 3 = Moderate Risk
*The risk score is calculated using a formula that considers a wide range of factors related to the assessed breach.
