Beware visual hacking, warns 3M
3M is warning businesses of the dangers of visual hacking, following a recent
experiment that demonstrated just how easy it is for intruders to steal
information from offices in plain sight of employees.
In the experiment by Ponemon Institute for 3M, a white hat hacker posing
as a contractor/part-time worker roamed the offices of eight US companies,
attempting to obtain corporate data in full view of other office workers.
In 88% of instances, the hacker was able to steal corporate information, such
as confidential/classified documents and employee login credentials, by reading
or photographing data displayed on computer screens and by removing printed
documents left on desks and printers.
Unprotected computer screens are a particular liability, with 53% of sensitive
information collected being read from a screen, compared to 29% found on desks,
9% in printer bins, 6% on copiers and 3% on fax machines.
The easiest hunting grounds are open plan offices, where an average of 4.4
information types were visually hacked,
compared to 3 information types in traditional
cellular office layouts.
As organisations are unable to rely
on employees to be vigilant – in 70% of
incidences the hacker was not accosted even
when using a smartphone to take a picture
of someone’s screen – 3M is advising
businesses to make better use of privacy controls,
including privacy screen filters for desktop
and mobile computers, password-protected
screensavers, clean desk policies and
shredding procedures.
