Recent research carried out by global information security firm MWR InfoSecurity, supported by CPNI (Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure), has revealed current and new techniques being used by cyber criminals to steal sensitive information from companies. The papers also show what companies can do to protect themselves.
Amongst these techniques, researchers have found that it is possible to exfiltrate a large amount of information through a number of popular websites such as Facebook, Flickr, YouTube and LinkedIn.
