NASDAQ:AMD / 109
I could swear that AMD was supposed to be the 25th..wtf
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sat Apr 16 00:22:59 2022 SUBREDDIT : StockMarket
AMD had a pretty rough week too.

Still buying AMD at these levels

What's your elevator pitch? I honestly know nothing about AMD business model. ELI5
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sun Apr 17 03:41:23 2022 SUBREDDIT : StockMarket
Hi, I'm looking for ways to buy a stock at fixed (lower) price. Currently AMD is @ $93, and I want to enter @ $90, so it is still about 3% away. I could put a limit order but it may never be fulfilled if it goes up or drops to only $91. What other ways can I buy it as long as possible to $90? What I have in mind is to sell puts. So if it falls below $90, I don't mind to still pay $90 for it. If it never hits $90, I can use the premium to offset the purchase price. For example, if my puts expires @ $91 with $0.50, the effective purchase price will be $90.50 instead of $91. Problem is, my brokerage doesn't do options. Are there other ways to achieve similar effect?

I'm looking at LOW, AMD, SMH (a new position), JPM, APPS, DIS, and VTI/VXUS of course. Debating adding more MSFT but I already hold plenty and its in my indices. I was but am no longer interested in adding: TGT, WMT since they had a big run-up recently. I already have positions in these.

AMD is my plan, I really like computers though and Intel is my backup stock, but that one is a slow mover.

Not really. Twitter is currently sitting wayyyyy below it's ATH and not very much higher than its IPO price considering the massive tech bull market that we've had since As for oil, even with recent events, it still has not provided the long term returns that tech companies I've held for the last 7-8 years have given. Shell and BP, for example, are below their 2014-2015 prices, while MSFT, FB and AMD have given several hundred percent returns since

Down vote me. Semi conductors are the new oil. Companies like NVDA, QCOM, AMD, And TSM will flow in and out of the top companies by market cap.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sun Apr 17 01:17:00 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
Intel, throwing money at a problem isn't always a winning solution having the right team is. Look at their history of delays on nodes and now with GPUs. Their roadmap is way too optimistic, too many people believe they can just buy their way to innovation. Their chips are destroyed in efficiency, like the 12900ks is only competitive with high end AMD consumer cpus pumping twice as much power. Look at their wins with Google cloud, Azure and Meta and you'll see which way the wind is turning.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sat Apr 16 23:42:36 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
I wish IBM would just end the dividend for a few years to regain some cash. They have some great projects that could be absolutely crazy with more cash to spend. It's stupid that they let their payout ratio get so high. It's a shame that they care more about their dividend status than growing the company. I disagree on AMD. With the recent Xilinx and Pensando acquisitions, I think they have quite enough fuel to continue growth for a while. That's not to say that Intel won't regain their status; I just don't believe it will be at the cost of AMD's. AMD is diversifying revenue streams - they are focused on the future and have a beautiful balance sheet, though I'm interested to see what this quarter will look like. I absolutely agree with everything else you said.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sat Apr 16 23:28:33 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
> AMD: Intel has so much FCF that they can now spent. I think in 5 years Intel will be on top again. Yeah, I tend to agree with this. NVDA has AI and ML capabilities that AMD simply does not, and I think INTC will make a comeback. I believe in INTC's fab expansion but I think they will suffer short-term in the next 1-2 years due to capex. Once the fab expansion is done, INTC's fab gives it significant moat especially in North America (their key competitors TSM and samsung are mostly in Asia).

KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sun Apr 17 01:20:07 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
I’m intrigued by your list. I more or less agree with your thesis on Amazon, Tesla, and AMD. That in mind, I don’t think that people think about Adobe and IBM today as they did about GE and Sears in their heyday. Edit: I think that people regard IBM and Adobe as less viable today with less of a future than how people viewed GE and Sears during their heyday. I don’t believe that IBM and Adobe have much of a promising future.

Apple won't fall anytime soon. They currently dominate the phone market. iPhone use among teens is close to 90 percent (Android is only 10 percent). Their technology is the best in the world. The best processor, the best battery life, the best ecosystem, the best camera, the least bugs, the most integrated software/hardware. Apple will dominate the computer market 10 years from now. Their new silicon is much more suitable for laptops than any Intel or AMD chip. Developers, tech professionals, videographers and music professionals already use Macs. In Silicon Valley, they are already the standard. Apple also dominates the iPad market. Nothing is even close to the processing power or ecosystem. They also have the most loyal customer base. Google, Samsung, etc have to compete for Android users. Apple is its own niche. ​ Edit: Also nobody ships their phones with a charger anymore lol
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sat Apr 16 20:48:49 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
agreed, disagree on his AMD opinion too
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sun Apr 17 01:01:22 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
IBM's shareprice would get slaughtered. Look at their shareholders, they are pretty much only passive holders from dividend aristocrat ETFs. I really like AMD, but given the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, I think it might be the case.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sun Apr 17 08:38:47 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
I still don't understand what this Nvidia ML angle is. Do people just think CUDA is worth $200bn or are Nvidia working on a TPU or something? I just don't get it, I know in the past ML was a GPU workload and that was immensely profitable but where is all this future growth supposed to come from? I buy the Intel and AMD growth stories but Nvidia feels like another Tesla - a single stock that came to represent a theme attracting massive interest from investors wanting exposure to that but not really appreciating valuation.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sat Apr 16 22:34:51 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
have you seen what they are doing with RDNA2? saying AMD isn't innovating is kinda of insane to me but ok INTC sells a lot of CPUs regardless of the enthusiast/high end... if AMD can manage to finally get a hold of any kind of appreciable market share in the servecloud market then maybe I could see INTC being in trouble but I don't think it's going to happen... they will both continue to exist for a long time just going to end up pigeonholed in different segments of the market for better or worse... only real competition to both is ARM which is imploding due to their own incompetence (see the reason the NVDA deal fell through) and maybe RISC-V given enough time to mature (the Chinese are pouring money into RISC-V so it may have hope)
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sat Apr 16 22:42:33 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
Think I worried my comment poorly. I don’t think that IBM or Adobe has much of a promising future. But I don’t think that many people out there today thinks that Adobe or IBM will continue to be a titan, thus making the comparison not quite as apt as say Tesla, Amazon, or AMD that the commenter described.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sat Apr 16 23:21:50 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
I think many will consider trimming more speculative stocks (low or no revenue types) and put that money into “safer” plays like low debt/profitable companies like AMD for instance. That’s what I’m doing anyway. Still buying the dips, just in safer companies than I did a year ago.

Why can these analyst groups from Goldman Sachs manipulate the market but not Musk? I remember owning AMD at 21$, and got weekly articles about how its going to fail. It was relentless.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sat Apr 16 16:53:36 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
Ah I remember those days. AMD shot up 30% on the premise that Goldman was going long $400M on it. Next week they unload their bags and tell the market AMD is a failed company. Edit: They literally played us for suckers: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/10/goldman-gives-up-on-negative-amd-call-upgrades-it-after-more-than-80percent.html https://www.barrons.com/articles/goldman-says-it-was-wrong-on-nvidia-stock-and-boots-it-from-best-ideas-list-1542379766
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sat Apr 16 17:50:47 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
AMD shot up because Intel fucked themselves massively, and people in the tech world who get supply updates found out early when their deliveries of sample parts kept getting delayed. The x86 market is a duopoly so Intel being dumped for datacenter parts as a result was a huge deal. -Someone who got information that Intel's chip process would be fucked for the next 2-3 years at that time...it was. edit: btw I got in at $8
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sat Apr 16 18:28:02 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
Ya my investment thesis was moores law, it gets harder and harder to shrink the nodes because electron leakage, performance homogenizes. Even if Intel didnt fail AMD would have done well, because as you say its a duopoly, all AMD had to do was cut Intels fat margins.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sat Apr 16 19:08:50 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
What makes you think AMD doesn’t have the capabilities of designing ARM chip? Both Xilinx and Pensando are ARM based.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sun Apr 17 12:39:33 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
This is something we need to expect. To begin with, we knew that Intel was trying to compete with AMD. Knowing that semiconductors are a saturated space is one of the basics to know before buying any stock here.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sun Apr 17 12:52:23 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
Even if they do it's good for ARM (my 1st point). Cloud providers are important customers of Intel, AMD. If they start building their own processor using ARM, this is again good for ARM and bad for Intel and AMD (my 2nd point).
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sun Apr 17 12:54:27 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
difficult for a guy talking so much on TV at a time when market turns on a dime. didn't he suggest we should buy any dips not that long ago - the AMDs, the NVDAs?

KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sat Apr 16 06:33:55 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
I believe so. Imagine if your had some AAPL stocks @ $100. You sold them @ $170 last year and bought AMD @ $160. You still need to pay tax on that $70 profit, but if AMD drops to $80, you may have some tax credit next year. Similarly, AAPL may have to pay tax on profit earned last year, but any investment may be tax deductible or depreciated in coming years.

Dont see any logic in acquiring a memory production company...that's a low margin VERY competitive market. They are very capable in passing down costs on memory to their clients, and even profiting off them with volume orders. Nvidia would likely be looking for AI, self driving, quantum compute, web2/3 services(like AWS) companies. AMD just bought Pensando a cloud compute/enterprise service company, i'd expect Nvidia to follow down them down this road...much higher margins there
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Fri Apr 15 22:14:22 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
compared to what i guess is the question...avoiding investing in things that are overvalued based on earnings would have made you miss out on a lot of stock gains over the years. Both AMD and Nvidia are leaders in technology that show no signs of slowing or stagnating...if anything they are just beginning. Both are at the forefront of gaming, AI/autonomy, Vmetaverse and crypto. If you believe in even a fraction of the potential in any of that tech these guys are undervalued...especially once the fed figures out raising rates will destroy the economy they spent so much to save during covid and prevent the US/Nato from stopping Russia, equities will skyrocket.

Apple started working on the arch in 2008 when they hired Jim Keller. Jim has designed AMD K8 and K12 (Zen), Teslas chip for autonomous drive and put down the foundation that is M1 today. Fucking legend
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Fri Apr 15 12:53:07 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
There are still uses for x86. x86 processors still kick the M1 chip from Apple in the butt in a lot of tasks. M1 and ARM have though, opened up a way for more portable and efficient machines for everyday use. A lot of tasks and programs doesnt need the power hungry chips from Intel and AMD. That is an undeniable fact.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Fri Apr 15 11:26:13 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
So why would Nvidia try to buy Arm and make an Arm CPU? Why would Lisa Su of AMD say >"I think AMD has a lot of experience with the ARM architecture. We have done quite a bit of design in our history with ARM as well. We actually consider ARM as a partner in many respects.""From an AMD standpoint, we consider ourselves sort of the high-performance computing solution working with our customers, and that that is certainly the way we look at this. And if it means ARM for certain customers, we would certainly consider something in that realm as well," Su explained. (https://www.zdnet.com/article/intel-invests-in-open-source-risc-v-processors-with-a-billion-dollars-in-new-chip-foundries/) ​ You make reasonable points, but the news seems to point in the opposite direction. The next generation of ARM essentially builds into the architecture the features that Apple has been creating from scratch and making them available to the parties that choose to license out ARM designs so they configure them to make their own chips. This means other companies will have a much easier job catching up.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Fri Apr 15 17:21:51 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
Nobody has mentioned Global Foundries? $GFS. They used to be part of AMD. They bought a few of the former IBM foundries as well.

Jim Keller is indeed a very capable engineer and a favorite of Reddit. However, there are many other competent engineers in both Apple and AMD and they should also be given credit for the success of Zen and M1. Jim himself said he's more like one of the uncle of Zen and not the father. There are lots of great information in his AnandTech interview and I highly recommend you to check it out: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16762/an-anandtech-interview-with-jim-keller-laziest-person-at-tesla

I do agree that ARM has the efficiency advantage in ultra-low power design. However, I expect the competing ARM processors to be in the ballpark of current Snapdragon and Exynos, instead of the M1 series. On top of that, x86 can be quite efficient in Laptops and handheld gaming devices as displayed by AMD in the Steam Deck. I don't think ARM have a huge efficiency advantage above 10W.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Fri Apr 15 14:12:51 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
Given the efficiency difference between previous iPhone SoCs and Snapdragons on the same node, I'd say the design team of Qualcomm is far less capable than the one at Apple. Nvidia do have custom ARM-based uarch in the works but there's currently no third-party efficiency or performance data available. Samsung's phone SoCs is even worse than Qualcomm, not to mention catching up with Apple. Apple did built some hardware dedicated to x86 emulation into the M1 series, which is the reason Rosetta 2 works much better than the x86 emulation on Windows on ARM. Considering Apple put precious engineering effort and die space into x86 emulation, and x86 emulation is still a big headache for WoA, migrating software to ARM should be quite hard, otherwise these things won't happen. All other chips built on TSMC N5 came to market far later than the M1 series. Even the Nvidia A100, which cost more than a maxed-out MacBook Pro with M1 Max, is built on the N7 process. Hyperscalers would only have less volume than Nvidia and it would be harder for them to justify jumping to the latest node early. Larger die increases the manufacturing cost exponentially since yield would be lower with larger die. Otherwise chiplets wouldn't be the trend. The cost advantage of AMD Ryzen and EPYC largely comes from the chiplet design utilizing multiple small die to form a single processor, so I'd say transistor count does have an sizable impact on cost.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Fri Apr 15 16:46:10 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
It means AMD will continue the fast growth and not going out of business due to companies turning to designing in-house ARM based processors.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Fri Apr 15 16:53:31 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
Both AMD and Nvidia already have a capable chip design team and it's much easier for them to build a good processor on ARM than companies that have to build a design team from scratch. What matters is having a good chip design team and not the ISA of choice. Nvidia was trying to buy arm because they want complete control of a ISA, and they can't make x86 processors anyway due to licensing. Apple would come up with a even better architecture when the processors built on next-gen ARM come to the market. You can't catch up with Apple without the budget and talents of similar ballpark.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Fri Apr 15 18:23:33 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
I do agree that AMD is not easily replaceable. But your DD is tech heavy and very light when it comes to investing . fast growth, you need to justify it beyond a single point. Tech is unpredictable especially without numbers to back it . Not too long ago Intel wanted to stop its chip manufacturing. Toshiba once a leader in laptop's, hard drives, sold it entire PC business if am not wrong Gateway is long gone and forgotten. Among many others. So can you justify fast growth?
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sat Apr 16 04:09:38 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
None of the Qualcomm chips are comparable to Apple chips on the same process node in terms of efficiency since the A5 in iPhone 4S AFAIK. It's not that Apple have magic, it's the amount of resources they put into the design team over a long time is simply much more than Qualcomm and ARM. I doubt Qualcomm can catch up with Apple since Apple have more budget for the design team and process node. By the time Qualcomm catch up with M1, the new generation of architecture of Apple, AMD and Intel would all be on the market.

AMD has 49% revenue growth and 67% EPS growth for the last quarter and it’s trading at the P/E of 37, which shouldn’t be the case if people expect the growth to continue. The growth rate of AWS, Azure and GCP are all insane and these create lots of demand for AMD processors. Their enterprise revenue is up 75% YoY, and with more computing and business moving to the cloud, the best is yet to come. With TSM reporting 35.5% YoY revenue growth this quarter I expect to see AMD to have 40%+ rev growth since growth on advanced nodes should be higher than average for TSM and AMD is mostly on N7 and N5(products on N5 are not yet on the market). People don’t expect AMD to sustain the growth and the point of my post is that it will.

There's currently no evidence supporting your claim. Hyperscalers have always been willing to pay hefty price for high-performance, high-efficiency processors and the market is rapidly growing, yet the current custom-design processors are still far behind Apple in efficiency. On top of that, throwing transistor budget out of the window may result in the processor being more expensive than buying from Intel or AMD, which makes no financial sense.

>There's currently no evidence supporting your claim. There's currently no evidence supporting your claim either. >Hyperscalers have always been willing to pay hefty price Source? Hyperscalers are extremely sensitive to cost of hardware and cost of running it. Lower cost is literally the biggest marketing point of Gravitron. >yet the current custom-design processors are still far behind Apple in efficiency. Which processor you're talking about? >throwing transistor budget out of the window may result in the processor being more expensive than buying from Intel or AMD, which makes no financial sense. Which is exactly what i said On similar lines, > Hyperscalers have always been willing to pay hefty price for high-performance, high-efficiency processors also makes no financial sense. And well, if hyperscalers are not throwing transistors like Apple, then you cant really say that > yet the current custom-design processors are still far behind Apple in efficiency"" Ultimately, people wont buy intel/AMD chips even if they are sithe or extremely overpriced like they would buy Apple hardware.

AFAIK Graviton2 has inferior performance per watt to AMD Milan (which is on the same node) and Graviton3 is likely to be inferior to AMD Genoa so for HPC workloads or anything that puts high load on the processor over a long time EPYC is more cost efficient in the long run. Centralized design effort enables dedicated processors to produce more energy efficient and transistor efficient processor and this advantage would be more significant in the future with 3nm and 2nm due to the design cost increasing exponentially. By that time ARM might not even have the performance per dollar advantage. Even if migration software is easier than I thought, my other points still stands.

I know one business that has already switched thanks to gravitron. Many others could easily follow and likely are following. As for Intel and AMD winning in performance per dollar, you are likely unaware of just how cheap ARM royalties are in comparison to AMD and Intel profit margins. It is around 0.5% per chip (which probably does not mean much for Gravitron since it is not a commercial offering, so let’s assume it is around 25 cents). Intel and AMD’s profit margins on their enterprise chips are well in excess of 50%, which is in the thousands of dollars. It was only a few years ago that Intel was effectively giving half off on enterprise CPUs to keep people from buying AMD processors, yet were still making money. In addition, ARM does its own “centralized” chip design that others license. Very few will design their own cores. Just reusing the ARM designed cores is enough to build processors with a performance per dollar advantage since the royalties are so cheap.

The core designed by ARM is far inferior to the ones designed by Apple. I’d argue that it’s due to the low royalties of ARM that they can’t afford to have a design team as good as the one in Apple and AMD. ARM is a relatively small company and their revenue is nowhere near Apple and AMD so they won’t have the R&D budget.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sat Apr 16 06:11:09 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
The cores that ARM designs are good enough for Amazon to repackage those cores in a semi-custom design that they call graviton that beats Intel and AMD in performance per dollar. ARM also is making huge leaps with each generation of its core designs. Furthermore, designing a processor that gets higher performance is harder the more performant it already is, so the resources needed by ARM to get 25% more performance are far less than the resources that Intel or AMD need to get 25% more performance. A number of the techniques that Intel and AMD use to get more performance are not exactly secrets either. They are typically: * wider instruction decode/execution * a larger out of order window * better branch prediction * improved prefetch There are other miscellaneous things too like changing instruction latencies (e.g. a faster division algorithm that uses more transistors) and occasionally adding more cache. In ARM’s case, the licensee is the one who decides how much cache is present based on their transistor budget. ARM is doing those in each new core design too. It is a recipe that works. You will also find universities publishing papers with ideas on how to do things better that influence chip design by Intel, AMD, ARM, etcetera. There are also limits to how much you can parallelize these tasks between engineers before less is more.
KEYWORD : AMD DATE : Sat Apr 16 06:29:38 2022 SUBREDDIT : stocks
The improvement in energy efficiency of Cortex-X2 over the Cortex-X1 is about 17% as estimated by AnandTech, while AMD achieves a 24% improvements in energy efficiency with Zen 3 compared to Zen 2, so I'd say R&D budget still plays a significant role. On top of that, the efficiency core in Apple A15 is tested to be 60% more efficient than the Cortex-A55 of ARM. It's also 28% more efficient than the E cores in the A14. Even if there seems to be some easy gain to be had in processor design, the lack of budget is still hindering ARM's processor design. The generational improvements achieved by Apple and AMD, while not proportional to their budget compared to ARM, still quite a bit ahead of ARM, and the gap will get wider in the future if the current trend continues. It will be a long time before we run out of room for improvements in processor design considering that AMD is expecting 20%+ improvement in IPC on Zen 4 compared to Zen 3.

I hate to say it since I have a position, but I think AMD will go down after their earnings. TSM just announced their earnings yesterday, beat top and bottom and even raised guidance, but yet the stock traded lower by the end of the day. There is too much negativity in the sector and I can see AMD still going lower even on a beat with raised guidance. I guess the long term benefit is that they are doing a 6 Billion dollar stock buyback this year, so having the price lower would benefit shareholders in the long run.

AMD was at 25x forward earnings a month ago, NVDA was 40x; this was a rich valuation when we are facing slower economic growth. Now they are 20x and 30x, which is more reasonable, although they are going to be a lot more volatile than GOOGL.

Certain names and commodities sectors such as oil, coal, precious metals, utilities are having their own little bull market imo; however, it is clear from the indexes (SPY QQQ NYSE IWM IWO) that as a whole the market still can’t get a good footing and is showing weakness to the point where tech might as well be being pushed off a cliff. Certain names are leading/holding up but at best we are in the late stages of a bear market, at worst. Not that many discounts? Have you looked at MSFT, AMD, AMZN, GOOG, AAPL, getting cheaper by the day.

I don't think most financial analysts understand semiconductor and technology very well. Lots of them just look at the financial numbers, some news and what other analysts said and come up with a target price. The only target price I find to be backed by a decent amount of research is the FVE (fair value estimate) by MorningStar, which rate TSM at 171 USD and AMD at 130. LRCX and AMAT are also rated quite a bit higher than their current price. Some brokerage (Schwab being one of them) gives you access to their full report and it's quite thorough.

They're trying to take over the datacenter space. Look at the 2 acquisitions they've done recently, all signs point to domination.

2021.05.11 15:38 Jeff-Netwrix What Is Data Leakage?

Data leaks don’t get as much press as data breaches — but they can be just as devastating to your business. In this article, you’ll learn how data leaks happen and the key steps to take to defend your organization.

What is a data leak? How does it differ from data breach?

A data breach occurs when an attacker from outside your organization gets into your IT ecosystem and steals private or sensitive information.
Data leakage, in contrast, happens from the inside out: Someone inside the organization shares confidential data with unauthorized recipients, or leaves a gap that enables that information to be easily accessed by people who shouldn’t see it. Either action could be accidental or deliberate.
Like a data breach, a data leak can have multiple unpleasant consequences. It can result in lawsuits from the people whose data was exposed, penalties from regulatory agencies, and damage to your business reputation and bottom line.

What types of data can be leaked?

Obviously, data that is intended to be public cannot be leaked. This typically includes content like your organization’s published press releases, product or service descriptions, and website privacy policy.
But most of the data that your organizations stores is not intended to be available to just anyone, and therefore can be improperly shared or accessed. Examples include:

How do data leaks happen?

Here are three of the most common causes of data leaks.

Misconfigurations by IT pros

In 2020, organizations around the globe rapidly transitioned to remote work. But when workers access proprietary tools and databases from home, any misconfiguration can put the data at risk. In fact, 60% of companies reported finding new security gaps because of the transition to remote work, according the Netwrix 2020 Cyber Threats Report.
Even industry-leading organizations have misconfigured systems in a way that left content vulnerable to data leakage. For example, Microsoft misconfigured security rules for a customer support case database, which left sensitive data exposed.

Malicious or careless business users

Data leaks can also be caused by malicious or careless employees who are not IT pros. Forrester predicts that 33% of data breaches in 2021 will be caused by insider incidents —an increase from 25% in 2020. The company cites remote work as the reason for the uptick.
For example, Tesla found that a Quality Assurance software engineer stole thousands of files containing trade secrets by transferring them to a personal Dropbox account. Multiple healthcare providers have experienced data leaks due to protected health information being accidentally sent to improper email recipients.

System errors

System or software issues are another common cause of data leakage. For example, a software error in a Denmark government tax portal exposed the tax ID numbers of 1.26 million Danish citizens over a period of five years. Each time a taxpayer updated their account details, an identifying number would be added to the page’s URL, which would then be collected by Adobe and Google, which were running analytics on the site.

How to Prevent Data Leaks

These five steps will help you strengthen security and prevent data leak problems:
1. Classify your data according to its value and sensitivity.
The first step in preventing data leaks is to know which data can be freely shared, and exactly who should be allowed to access the other data you store. Using data discovery and classification, you can organize all your data into categories so you can protect it appropriately.
2. Proactively identify and mitigate IT risks.
You won’t know where you’re most vulnerable unless you regularly assess your risks. To implement effective risk assessment and risk management, consider using an industry standard like the assessment framework from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST SP 800-30 document lays out the procedures for the assessment.
3. Protect your data according to its value and sensitivity.
Next, deploy the right security controls. The NIST 800-53 standard can help you choose appropriate controls.Best practices include:· Identity and access management (IAM), a framework that helps businesses implement and manage policies for access to sensitive information· Encryption, which is the process of encoding data so that cannot be read even if it falls into the wrong hands· Data access governance, which includes applying the principle of least privilege to ensure that users have only the access permissions they need to do their jobs· Change management and auditing, which can help you avoid misconfigurations and other security gaps· User and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), which helps you spot unusual activity that could lead to a data leak
4. Train all employees on security awareness.
The Netwrix 2020 Cyber Threats Report showed that 58% of companies are worried that their employees will ignore security rules, putting data at risk. To reduce the risk of costly mistakes, perform security training for all employees, including executives, on a regular basis.
5. Enable timely detection.
Detecting improper activity promptly can help you avoid or reduce the scope of a data leak. For example, alerts on changes to critical configuration parameters can enable you to immediately close a security gap, and spotting a user copying sensitive data to a local machine can enable you to intervene before the machine leaves the premises.
6. Be ready to recover.
Finally, a process must be put in place to recover any content that is lost in a data leak. Be sure to implement a test a thorough recovery plan for all important data.

FAQ

  1. What is data leakage? Data leakage occurs when sensitive information is shared with an unauthorized user, whether inside or outside of the organization.
  2. What are the main causes of data leakage? Common causes of data leakage include misconfigurations, deliberate or accidental actions by insiders, and system errors.
  3. What are some effective ways to prevent data leakage? To prevent data leaks, it’s important to classify your data, identify your risks, put the right practices in place to protect data, increase security awareness, enable fast incident detection and create a recovery plan.
  4. What is the most common cause of data leakage today? The rapid shift to remote work dramatically increased the risk of data leakage. 85% of CISOs surveyed in the Netwrix 2020 Cyber Threats Report said they sacrificed cybersecurity in order to quickly enable employees to work remotely.

Experian API leaks most Americans’ credit scores

A researcher is claiming that the credit scores of almost every American were exposed through an API tool used by the Experian credit bureau, that he said was left open on a lender site without even basic security protections. Bill Demirkapi, a sophomore at Rochester Institute of Technology, identified the tool, called the Experian Connect API, allows lenders to automate FICO-score queries. Demirkapi said he was even able to build a command-line tool that let him automate lookups, even after entering all zeros in the fields for date of birth, which he named, “Bill’s Cool Credit Score Lookup Utility.” Experian, for its part, refuted concerns from the security community that the issue could be systemic.

SAP admits to ‘thousands’ of illegal software exports to Iran

SAP has reached a settlement with US investigators to close a prosecution relating to the violation of economic sanctions and the illegal export of software to Iran. The cloud software vendor admitted to violating existing sanctions and an embargo placed on the country by the United States. From 2010 to 2017, SAP and overseas partners exported US-origin software — including upgrades and security fixes — to users in Iran over 20,000 times. SAP’s Cloud Business Group (CBGs) units allowed over 2,300 users in Iran to access US-based cloud services. SAP voluntarily admitted to the accusations, leading to a settlement worth $8 million to avoid further action and prosecution.

Basecamp sees mass employee exodus after CEO bans political discussions

The company, which employs around 60 people, has seen one-third of its staff accept buyouts to leave, many citing new company policies around no longer being allowed to openly share their “societal and political discussions” at work. The departures are significant since they include Basecamp’s head of design, head of marketing and head of customer support, as well as many of its iOS team. Some Basecamp employees state the exodus has more to do with internal conversations about the company itself and its commitment to DEI – diversity, equity and inclusion – issues.

A look at the Project Signal ransomware campaign

Security researchers at Flashpoint identified the ransomware campaign, seemingly organized by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps using the contracting company ENP. The project began in the late summer of 2020, with malicious actors researching three to four websites per day as potential targets. Project Signal appears linked to the ransomware campaign Pay2Key that targeted a number of Israeli firms in November 2020, which used similar tactics. The researchers noted that Iran has a history of blending its operations with non-state-sponsored malicious cyber activity to give itself plausible deniability.

Dozens of apps leaking AWS keys

A new report from the BeVigil search engine, which checks an app’s security ratings and other security issues before installing, found over 40 apps that had hardcoded private Amazon Web Services keys embedded within them. These apps had been collectively downloaded over 100 million times. Adobe Photoshop Fix, Adobe Comp, Hootsuite, and IBM’s Weather Channel were among the apps listed. Analysis found that some of the exposed AWS keys had access to multiple AWS services, including credentials for 88 S3 buckets, ultimately providing access to 5.5TB of data, including source code, application backups, user reports, test artifacts, configuration and credential files. BeVigil owner CloudSEK said they contacted AWS and impacted apps independently to disclose their findings.

A new set of vulnerabilities may affect 60 percent of the world’s public email servers worldwide

The Qualys Research Team has discovered 21 vulnerabilities in the Exim mail server, some of which can be chained together to obtain full remote unauthenticated code execution and gain root privileges. Qualys has named this group of vulnerabilities “21 Nails”. Bharat Jogi, Senior Manager, Vulnerability and Threat Research at Qualys, said in a statement that “the 21 vulnerabilities we found are critical as attackers can remotely exploit them to gain complete root privileges on an Exim system, allowing compromises such as a remote attacker gaining full root privileges on the target server and executing commands to install programs, modify data, create new accounts, and change sensitive settings on the mail servers. It’s imperative that users apply patches immediately.”

Hundreds of millions of Dell computers potentially vulnerable to attack

Laptops, notebooks, and tablets made by DELL are at risk of compromise from a set of five high-severity flaws that had been undetected since at least 2009. The flaws allow an attacker who already has some level of initial access on a system to escalate privileges and gain kernel level access on it. Security researchers from SentinelOne discovered the bugs in Dell’s DBUtil, a driver that is installed and loaded during the BIOS update process on Dell Windows machines. Dell was notified of the issue in December 2020 and has issued an update for it. In an advisory and FAQ today, the hardware maker offers measures that organizations can take to identify whether they have been impacted and steps they can take to address the issue.

Phishing for workplace credentials

Some workers in the US received emails from an organization called Workplace Unite, claiming to offer $500 for workplace login credentials and $25 a month as long as those credentials were active, claiming that providing payroll information would give them visibility into their peers. Motherboard reports these emails make HTTP requests to sites linked to the startup Argyle, which claims to act as a “gateway to access employment records,” with access to 40 million records. Linked domains for Workplace Unite were taken offline after tweeted out by security researchers, although it’s unclear what is it’s exact relationship with Argyle.

Microsoft open-sources Counterfit

Counterfit is a tool to let devs test the security of ML and AI systems, originally written as a set of attack scripts written specifically to target AI models. In its current form, Counterfit offers an automated system to benchmark a variety of systems at scale for security and used as a part of Microsoft’s AI red team operations. It offers customizable or randomized parameters and logs attacks against models to help document potential failure modes of an AI system. A recent Microsoft survey found that 89% of organizations didn’t feel they had the right resources to secure AI systems.
