*Database Io Error
2019 already feels like it’s worlds away, but the data breaches many consumers faced last year are likely to have lasting effects. As we look back on 2019, it’s important to reflect on how our online security has been affected by various threats. With that said, let’s take a look at the biggest breaches of the year and how they’ve affected users everywhere.Capital One breach
Vst plugin audacity. Jul 14, 2020 The data had been exposed online by Verifications.io, an email validation firm. On Oct 12, 2019, a new user named Exabyte registered on RaidForums — a site dedicated to sharing hacked databases and tools to perpetrate credential stuffing attacks. Mar 07, 2019 An exposed database belonging to Verifications.io contained both personal and business information, including 763 million unique email addresses. Verifications.io Database Leak Download Data breaches by the dozens happen every day. Cybercriminals are constantly coming up with new ways to access databases loaded with sensitive information they can sell on the dark web or use for future attacks. According to security researcher Troy Hunt, owner of HaveIBeenPwned, 35% of the data exposed by Verifications.io is new to his database. With that said, it was the second largest data dump added in terms of email addresses to Hunt’s website, which allows users to check whether their data has been exposed or breached.
He then traced the source of the database back to the company Verifications.io, which has since removed the database, shut down their website, and apparently ceased to exist. The database of information could be accessed by anyone who knew where to look — no sophisticated hacking skills necessary.
In late July, approximately 100 million Capital One users in the U.S. and 6 million in Canada were affected by a breach exposing about 140,000 Social Security numbers, 1 million Canadian Social Insurance numbers, 80,000 bank account numbers, and more. As one of the 10 largest banks based on U.S. deposits, the financial organization was certainly poised as an ideal target for a hacker to carry out a large-scale attack. The alleged hacker claimed that the data was obtained through a firewall misconfiguration, allowing for command execution with a server that granted access to data in Capital One’s storage space.Facebook breach
In early September, a security researcher found an online database exposing 419 million user phone numbers linked to Facebook accounts. The exposed server was left without password protection, so anyone with internet access could find the database. The breached records contained a user’s unique Facebook ID and the phone number associated with the account. In some instances, the records also revealed the user’s name, gender, and location by country.Collection #1 breach
Last January, we met Collection #1, a monster data set that exposed 772,904,991 unique email addresses and over 21 million unique passwords. Security researcher Troy Hunt first discovered this data set on the popular cloud service MEGA, specifically uncovering a folder holding over 12,000 files. Due to the sheer volume of the breach, the data was likely comprised of multiple breaches. When the storage site was taken down, the folder was then transferred to a public hacking site, available for anyone to take for free.Verifications.io breach
Less than two months after Collection #1, researchers discovered a 150-gigabyte database containing 809 million records exposed by the email validation firm Verifications.io. This company provides a service for email marketing firms to outsource the extensive work involved with validating mass amounts of emails. This service also helps email marketing firms avoid the risk of having their infrastructure blacklisted by spam filters. Therefore, Verifications.io was entrusted with a lot of data, creating an information-heavy database complete with names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, gender, date of birth, personal mortgage amounts, interest rates, and more.Orvibo breach
In mid-June, Orvibo, a smart home platform designed to help users manage their smart appliances, left an Elasticsearch server (a highly scalable search and analytics engine that allows users to store, search, and analyze big volumes of data in real-time) online without password protection. The exposure left at least two billion log entries each containing customer data open to the public. This data included customer email addresses, the IP address of the smart home devices, Orvibo usernames, and hashed passwords, or, unreadable strings of characters that are designed to be impossible to convert back into the original password.What Users Can Learn From Data Breaches
Data breaches serve as a reminder that users and companies alike should do everything in their power to keep personal information protected. As technology continues to become more advanced, online threats will also evolve to become more sophisticated. So now more than ever, it’s imperative that users prioritize the security of their digital presence, especially in the face of massive data leaks. If you think you might have been affected by a data breach or want to take the necessary precautions to safeguard your information, follow these tips to help you stay secure:
*Research before you buy.Although you might be eager to get the latest new device, some are made more secure than others. Look for devices that make it easy to disable unnecessary features, update software, or change default passwords. If you already have an older device that lacks these features, consider upgrading.
*Be vigilant when monitoring your personal and financial data. A good way to determine whether your data has been exposed or compromised is to closely monitor your online accounts. If you see anything fishy, take extra precautions by updating your privacy settings, changing your password, or using two-factor authentication.
*Use strong, unique passwords. Make sure to use complex passwords for each of your accounts, and never reuse your credentials across different platforms. It’s also a good idea to update your passwords consistently to further protect your data.
*Enable two-factor authentication. While a strong and unique password is a good first line of defense, enabling app-based two-factor authentication across your accounts will help your cause by providing an added layer of security.
*Use a comprehensive security solution. Use a solution like McAfee Total Protection to help safeguard your devices and data from known vulnerabilities and emerging threats.Stay Up to Date

It isn’t often that our data validation industry makes it into the mainstream media. But this week, it was rocked by a story in Wired Magazine, where two security researchers discovered that the email validation firm, Verifications.io (site currently taken down), had exposed an unprotected, publicly accessible database containing over 800 million email addresses – together with personal and business information for some of them.
Many details are still sketchy at this point. Verifications.io claimed that this was an internal database containing no client records and has since gone dark. And thankfully these records did not appear to contain sensitive information such as financial data or passwords. But we are well aware that incidents like these might raise concerns for businesses who employ third parties to process their contact data assets.
The good news is that situations like this are NOT at all representative of how established vendors like Service Objects does business. Done properly, data validation services are extremely secure, and can strongly enhance the data quality and security of your business. In this article we wanted to share what things you should look for in a data validation partner, along with many of our best practices.What to look for in a data validation company
Reputation. We are putting this one first, because reputation matters as much as all other factors combined. Look at how long a company has been in business, how many customers it serves, and who its marquee clients are. A little Googling will serve you well here: information abounds, so see what people are saying about the company: negative comments are a concern, of course, and sometimes NO comments can be even more concerning.
(P.S. Glad you asked. We’ve been in business since 2001, and serve over 2500 clients including Amazon, Microsoft, Sony, and every major credit card issuer. Review site FeaturedCustomers.com gives us a tremendously high 4.6/5.0 rating across 600 customer reviews, and you will find our CEO and others featured prominently in the industry trade press.)
Data security. Simply put, we do not store customer data. Only our clients can see their own data. For the time it takes for us to verify it, it is encrypted using a high-level (https) protocol. And when the verification is completed, the data is immediately expunged. We feel you should never, ever use a data validation service that stores your unencrypted contact data in a way that is vulnerable to prying eyes.
In addition to this, we employ bank-grade security measures, including secure 24/7/365 data centers, which feature multi-layer perimeter security with hourly scans and modern firewalls, penetration testing and hardened Windows servers. More details on our data security can be found here.
Reliability. Contact data validation is often performed in real-time, and is frequently mission-critical to a company’s marketing, sales or customer contact activities. This is why we offer one of the industry’s only financially backed service level agreements, with a minimum goal of 99.999% availability of its services.
Customer impact. The above Wired article discusses how email addresses are sometimes validated by sending them test emails, essentially spamming them. We use a very different, non-invasive technology to validate email deliverability, based on ping testing, as described further in this recent blog. This provides accurate results without impacting your customers.
Resources. People often say that the value of any company rests in how well they invest in their products and services. We were founded by developers, for developers, and both our technical and support teams are very proud of their expertise. Above all, we make it a point to be there for our customers: we are available 24/7 if needed, make it a public policy to respond within 90 minutes, and garner rave reviews from our clients.Feel secure with the right data validation partnerDatabase Io Error
No one ever wants to end up as a news story. But incidents like this serve as a good reminder for what to look for when you entrust your valuable contact data to a third party. We are proud of our track record of safety and security going back nearly two decades that has helped position us as leaders in this industry. Service Objects knows that the more educated businesses are about the specifics of safe and reliable data quality, the better. If you would like to learn more, we are happy to discuss our security measures and our data validation products, please contact us for more details.
