 A
recent Forbes story announced that an unprotected WWE database containing

salaries, educational backgrounds, customers children’s ages, genders and more.
The WWE issued the following statement on the breach: “Although no credit card
or password information was included, and therefore not at risk, WWE is
investigating a vulnerability of a database housed on Amazon Web Services (AWS),
which has now been secured. WWE utilizes leading cybersecurity firms Smartronix
and Praetorian to manage data infrastructure and cybersecurity and to conduct
regular security audits on AWS. We are currently working with Amazon Web
Services, Smartronix and Praetorian to ensure the ongoing security of our
customer information.” |
