Cyber Security Vulnerabilities Of FTSE 100 Companies Exposed - Threat Intelligence Report From Anomali Pinpoints Significant Security Exposures In The UKâs 100 Largest Companies

Anomali, provider of market-leading threat intelligence platforms, has today revealed the prevalence of suspicious brand spoofing and mass compromised credential exposures of the Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 (FTSE 100). Over the last three months, eighty one companies in the FTSE 100 had potentially malicious domain registrations against them, enabling cyber criminals to create dummy websites that can be used to trick users into supplying private data. The report also discovered that 5,275 employee email and clear text password combinations from FTSE 100 companies were found on a number of sites from which they can be stolen, publicly published or sold. This leaves the UK’s largest businesses open to cyber-attacks and puts critical business content and personal information at risk.
