Among many attacks on the internet that is directed to the corporate sites, the majority occurred because of internal negligence by the employees.

Around 52 percent of the attacks were successful, according to a monitoring agency called as Indonesian Security Incident Response Team on Information Infrastructure (ID SIRTII). These breaches occurred due to violations of the corporate security procedures. It means that the attack occurred because of careless internal IT implementation.

One of the most common neglected procedures is regular password changes. It is further added that password cracking are frequently carried out by financial motives.

Password can sometimes be easily predicted by outsider using the “forget your ID or password” feature, in which we are asked to answers specific questions, if we forget the password.

”Be careful with your passwords, try to change them regularly. Many reports of website breach cases are caused by neglect in internal IT implementation”, said an IT expert.

There are still a lot of internal corporate standards that does not conform to regular security rules. This shows that the company is not aware of the latest security procedures.

Other than financial issues, which underlie the increased attacks in corporate sites, the attack is also caused by competition, political or social motives.
