From Cars to Credentials: Why Identity Is the Master Key

TechCrunch recently reported that a security researcher uncovered critical flaws in a major carmaker’s dealership portal. These vulnerabilities could have allowed attackers to create admin accounts, access sensitive customer and financial data, track vehicles, and even remotely unlock cars.

The discovery is a reminder that as cars, homes, and financial platforms become more connected, weak authentication creates cascading risks. In this case, a single oversight in identity management exposed more than 1,000 dealerships across the United States.

It is becoming increasingly clear that securing digital systems is no longer just about protecting devices, but about protecting identities at the core. At KATSH.ID, we believe solving identity at its foundation is the key to preventing breaches like this and building the trust the digital economy depends on.

Important News: A recent data breach potentially exposed Social Security numbers and other sensitive information for millions of people. The hacking group USDoD claims to have stolen records of 2.9 billion individuals from National Public Data, a Florida-based background check company. These records reportedly include names, addresses, relatives, and Social Security numbers dating back over 30 years. The data, first put up for sale on the dark web for $3.5 million in April 2024, has since been leaked for free by a hacker in August. National Public Data has yet to confirm the breach, but advises caution.

Hackers stole $1.38 billion in crypto in the first half of 2024, more than double last year's amount, according to TRM. The top five hacks accounted for 70% of the losses, with private key compromises and smart contract exploits being common. The largest hack involved DMM Bitcoin, losing over $300 million. Rising token prices contributed to the increase, though total losses remain below the 2022 record. Scams targeting Toncoin users on Telegram have also surged.
