History Makers
CSO magazine just loves to take a break from helping organizations secure themselves, and to tell the stories of when things go wrong. We regularly reveal the biggest data breaches of the 21st century so you don't have to join the list.
CSO readers want to know the biggest of all time, and Smart Answers is happy to help. To which we say: Yahoo! Those billions of people impacted? Not so much.
Find out: When did the largest data breach in history occur?
Mind Your Language
Staying on the theme of biggest if not best, we revealed the 10 most critical LLM (Large Language Model) vulnerabilities. Prompt injection and supply chain vulnerabilities remain the main LLM vulnerabilities but as the technology evolves new risks come to light including system prompt leakage and misinformation.
This caused readers to ask Smart Answers to outline potential advantages of using LLM to help secure organizations. The answer is like many areas in which AI can help (at least in concept): speeding up analysis of data and removing downstream tasks from skilled human employees.

Common Threats
Way back in the dim distant mists of time (er, 2017) attackers exfiltrated hundreds of millions of customer records from credit reporting agency Equifax. Here's a timeline of the security lapses that allowed the breach to happen and the company's response.
This remains a popular cautionary tale, prompting CSO readers to ask Smart Answers to outline the most common types of security threat they should be tackling. It's hacking and human error, of course, with many different flavors of both and more.
