The goal of this project was to research different types of cybersecurity attacks and how these attacks impacted others.
Lesson Learned
Lesson Learned
I learned that not even big companies are immune to cybersecurity attacks. More and more attacks happen everyday, most involving leaking information or demanding a ransom. Companies, and everyday people, need to take measures in order to protect important information. We may think that were are being cautious, but one miss click and your information could be stolen.

Kellogg confirmed in December 2024 that one employee was affected in a hack regarding files. Cleo servers, which the breakfast company uses to transfer employee files, were hacked on December 7, 2024. The information that was hacked included the social security number and name of the employee. There were two vulnerabilities that the company was aware of. The first, CVE-2024-50623, which was unrestricted file upload and download vulnerability. The second was CVE-2024-55956, which allowed unauthenticated users to import/execute arbitrary bash/PowerShell commands. The company is unsure if employees were affected. One way to prevent files from being stolen is by avoid clicking on unknown links
