Ecrypt Technologies, Inc. (ECRY) Offers Viable Solution for Data Breaches Such as AOL’s Recent, Massive Hit

AOL, Inc. is urging its email users to change their passwords after a serious data breach on the company’s internal network and systems resulted in an increase of spam seemingly sent from AOL email accounts last week. The emails contained links for diet pills and Android malware, the online software company in a blog post Tuesday, adding that roughly 2% (about half a million users) of AOL email accounts may have been compromised.

“AOL’s investigation began immediately following a significant increase in the amount of spam appearing as “spoofed emails” from AOL Mail addresses. Spoofing is a tactic used by spammers to make it appear that the message is from an email user known to the recipient in order to trick the recipient into opening it. These emails do not originate from the sender’s email or email service provider – the addresses are just edited to make them appear that way,” an excerpt from the blog post reads.

AOL’s investigation is underway, along with help from federal authorities and forensics firm. AOL said the encrypted information has likely not been compromised, though it still strongly recommends that users change their passwords. This scenario is all too familiar for Ecrypt Technologies, an emerging provider of military-strength data security solutions for enterprise, government, and military. The company recognizes that online communication is saddled with the risk of liability, reputation damage, competitive threat, and other negative outcomes.

Ecrypt’s flagship solution to these threats is an integrated email and encryption server that can be quickly deployed to fortify the security of corporate communication, including attachments and mobile devices, against data breaches while eliminating phishing threats, malware infections, and spam. The technology alleviates companies’ needs for separate encryption servers to support bloated administration and multiple points of weakness.

Companies spend millions of dollars on firewalls, encryption and secure access devices, though the root of security risks stem from human error. Ecrypt’s all-in-one secure email system is designed to improve technology while removing human vulnerabilities.
