Today we are going to talk about the details of the Roblox data breach and the main outcomes of a recent cybersecurity professionals survey.

Last week, Roblox, an online gaming platform, announced that its vendor handling the registration process for Developer Conferences has recently experienced unauthorized access to a subset of Roblox user information. The company says that due to this, the personal information of the attendees might be impacted. The breached data includes:

• Registered name
• Email
• IP address

The incident was added to Have I Been Pwned (HIBP), a data breach notification service, which reported that 10,386 unique email addresses were part of the exposed data. Also, HIBP says that 63% (approximately 6,500) of these email addresses had not been exposed before.

Data breach notifications are never pleasant. However, it turns out that being informed of security incidents or mistakes affecting you or your business is almost a privilege. Recent ThinkCyber research shows that 50% of surveyed cybersecurity professionals do not feel safe reporting mistakes at work for fear of repercussions. Also, 42% of these experts doubt that their companies' cybersecurity training is effective in changing risky behaviors. This fact highlights the importance of ensuring the quality of corporate educational programs.

To reduce the risks of illegal access to your data assets or to prevent your company from experiencing an incident without you even realizing it, we recommend that you implement a quality managed security service. Follow the link and provide your business with comprehensive security.
