Florida-based marketing and data-aggregation company, Exactas, was breached in an attack that exposed nearly 340 million individual records, 230 of which were consumers and the remaining 110 million being businesses.

In a statement released by Wired, Security researcher Vinny Toria, who initially uncovered the breach earlier in the month, said “It seems like this is a database with pretty much every U.S. citizen in it. I don’t know where the data is coming from, but it’s one of the most comprehensive collections I’ve ever seen.”

The Palm Coast company’s inability to keep their system secure is not an isolated occurrence, with companies such as SunTrust, Equifax, Yahoo and more, revealing their own system breaches and the extent of personal data that had been compromised through these successful attacks. Although this is one of the largest data breaches to have occurred in recent times, Exactis does not store Social Security Numbers or credit card information on their systems, however, they do house a variety of personal information, including addresses, telephone numbers, and individual character traits among other things, making it easier for someone to take on a stolen identity, or otherwise utilize the information.

The problem is seen all too often and IAGON aims at delivering a solid solution by providing a secure, decentralized cloud space, one that is immune to the hackers as it is powered by artificial intelligence and Blockchain technology. In addition to the overall enhanced security, IAGON’s Secure Lake is based on the Blockchain’s unbreakable encryption technology, on file slicing and storage of small, anonymous and strongly encrypted slices of the original files ensures the complete protection of data files, other types of files (such as scans, photos and videos) and databases of any size and ensures the rapid retrieval and update of any stored file.

This ensures that, aside from the user who securely uploads a file and has the password (key) to retrieve and encrypt it, no one can read the contents of the small file slices, encrypt, delete, change, retrieve them, identify their source or even associate them with other file slices that are generated from the original, uploaded file. IAGON’s technology ensures that even when information systems are breached in any way, the data and files that they use cannot be accessed, deleted or modified in any way.
