"Computer Scientists Develop a Simple Tool to Tell If Websites Suffered a Data Breach"
A team of researchers at The University of California, San Diego, has developed a tool that could be used to detect whether a website has been compromised by hackers. The tool, called Tripwire, is able to discover if a website has suffered a data breach by checking the activity of email accounts that are associated with accounts on the website. This article further discusses the concept behind Tripwire and how the testing of this tool was conducted by researchers, along with the results of this study and disclosure of this information to sites’ security teams.
