Nissan balances competitive and security fallout from source code leak. News that source code of Nissan North America tools leaked online because of a [misconfigured](https://www.scmagazine.com/featured/cloud-misconfigurations-contributed-to-more-than-200-breaches/) Git server spurs questions not only about potential cyberattacks by bad actors, but also whether competitors could use the sensitive data against the automobile giant. Nissan offerings associated with the leaked source code ran the gamut from Nissan North America mobile apps and Nissan’s internal core mobile library to some parts of the Nissan ASIST diagnostic tool and sales and marketing research tools and data. The Git server has since been taken offline, after data began to get shared on Telegram and hacking forums.

In this blog, DarkOwl, with contributions from Nisos, looks at how the darknet is rife with “disinformation as a service” type offerings, and how technology such as blockchain is now being leveraged to persistently disseminate false narratives to the public.  Topics: [News](https://blog.nisos.com/news/topic/news) [Continue Reading](https://blog.nisos.com/news/digital_economy_of_disinformation_on_the_darknet_controlling_the_narrative) ###### 1 min read ## [Deepfakes Are Amazing.

One of the fallouts of all of this is data theft. According to Verizon's 2019 Insider Threat Report, insider threat actors are prevalent in many industries, and the causes range from personal gain (such as selling sensitive data on the black market) to a disgruntled employee who lashes out in retaliation for a perceived slight. An employee may also unknowingly become a pawn in an external actor’s game of gaining access or, more likely, they may be simply careless in their use of technology.

Given the efficacy of such attacks, it’s not surprising that disinformation campaigns are also becoming a business problem. Companies as varied as Olive Garden, Koch’s Turkeys, and Columbine Chemicals have been recent victims of massive social media hoaxes spreading false information connected to their product or brand.
