Combat the Breach Epidemic in 2025

In 2024, the cybersecurity landscape has been marred by a series of significant breaches, underscoring the urgent need for robust security measures. Notably, T-Mobile was part of a major Chinese cyber-espionage campaign, dubbed Salt Typhoon, targeting several U.S. and international telecommunications companies. Hackers linked to a Chinese intelligence agency breached T-Mobile to spy on high-value intelligence targets' cell communications. While it's unclear what specific data was accessed, T-Mobile claimed no significant impact on their systems or customer data.

Additionally, the Internet Archive, including its Wayback Machine, was hit by a significant cyberattack, exposing the data of 31 million users. The breach occurred on October 9, when a malicious JavaScript pop-up on the website warned users about the breach and directed them to ‘Have I Been Pwned’ (HIBP) – a site to check compromised email addresses and passwords. Additionally, a series of DDoS attacks began on October 8, disrupting the website and the Wayback Machine’s functionality.

These incidents highlight a troubling trend: despite the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks, many organizations remain unprepared, with inadequate security measures and delayed responses to breaches.
