You might have heard of the “Dark Web”, a realm of the internet where hackers rule and can communicate among themselves.<\/p>\n

Recently the company Bitglass<\/a> did an experiment to see the extent of the reach of the Dark Web. \u00a0Bitglass has created a method for watermarking a file. \u00a0The watermark technology creates invisible changes that are embedded in the file but later allow the file to be uniquely identified.<\/p>\n

In the Bitglass experiment bogus data was put into an excel spreadsheet, the file was marked uniquely with a watermark, and then the file was uploaded into the Dark Web. \u00a0Within 12 days they were able to determine that the file had been shared in 22 countries across five continents. \u00a0The file was tracked in Nigeria, Russia, China and Brazil.<\/p>\n

The Bitglass report <\/a>noted that it takes on average 205 days in order for a business to realize that they’ve been hacked and data has been taken. \u00a0The report commented that\u00a0“the level of access after just 12 days was extraordinary. \u00a0Imagine how much further the data would spread in 205 days.”<\/p>\n

Nat Kausik<\/a>, CEO of Campbell, Calif.-based Bitglass, said that\u00a0“I think the challenge is: Every corporation wants to use the public cloud because of the cost benefits and flexibility it provides. \u00a0On the flip side, the data becomes more vulnerable.”<\/p>\n
