Selling customer data such as banking records, vehicle registration and mobile phone usage is big business in China. Recent data theft of 130 million clients of Huazhu Hotels Group saw the stolen payment and contact information going for about US$56,000.

MFA can be circumvented by modern identity attack techniques. Thwarting cyber attackers starts by understanding the techniques they rely on to bypass MFA protected users, and responding with a holistic, well-rounded identity security strategy that can fill these gaps.
IT security teams need to develop a SaaS management strategy to mitigate and address their shadow applications to mitigate the security and compliance risks shadow IT poses to their organizations.
