The electronics giant once again took its typical tight-lipped approach when faced with questions about a year-long breach of its systems that gave hackers access to the personal data of its U.K.-based customers. Samsung has once again made it onto our badly handled breaches list. Samsung won’t say how many customers hit by year-long data breach It has not yet been revealed who carried out the intrusion - or if it is known - and how the Commission was breached. The BBC reported the following month that the watchdog had failed a basic cybersecurity test around the same time hackers gained entry to the organization. It took another year for the Commission to catch the hackers in the act. While it may sound like the Electoral Commission was upfront about the cyberattack and its impact, the incident occurred in August 2021 - some two years ago - when hackers first gained access to the Commission’s systems. The Electoral Commission, the watchdog responsible for overseeing elections in the United Kingdom, confirmed in August that it had been targeted by “hostile actors” that accessed the personal details - including full names, email addresses, home addresses, phone numbers and any personal images sent to the Commission - on as many as 40 million U.K. Electoral Commission hid details of a huge hack for a year, yet still tight-lipped Here’s this year’s dossier on how not to respond to security incidents. Turns out this year, many organizations continue to make the same mistakes. That included everything from downplaying the real-world impact of spills of personal information to failing to answer basic questions. Last year, we compiled a list of 2022’s most poorly handled data breaches, looking back at the bad behavior of corporate giants when faced with hacks and breaches.
