Breaches at Network Solutions, Register.com, and Web.com
Summary: Web.com, which owns NetworkSolutions.com and Register.com, disclosed that a third party gained unauthorized access to a limited number of its computer systems in late August 2019, with the intrusion not detected until October 16, 2019. The exposed data included contact details such as name, address, phone numbers, email address and service information, while Web.com said no credit card data was compromised and that it does not believe customer passwords were accessed, though it is requiring customers to reset passwords at next login.
Why it matters: The gap between the late-August intrusion and its mid-October detection gave an adversary roughly six weeks inside the network unnoticed - and Network Solutions alone holds almost seven million domains, with Register.com listing 1.7 million.
