Deutsche Bank Breached Through External Vendor

What Happened

Employee data stolen through an external service provider - a marketing and incentive platform. Email addresses, password hashes, physical addresses, internal database records all exposed. Deutsche Bank's own systems untouched. The breach happened at the vendor.

How They Got In

Ransomware group Unsafe compromised the external service provider and posted employee database exports as proof. No details on how they got in, but they had full access to sensitive internal data. Employee credentials now in attacker hands.

The Pattern

48% of breaches now involve a third party. Deutsche Bank thought their vendor was vetted. They were wrong. They had zero visibility into what was happening inside that vendor's environment.

What FrontierZero Catches

A supplier suddenly logging in from a new location and device and weird time. Contractors credentials appearing on the dark web. All the external connections without MFA enabled. 

The Gap

You vet a vendor once. You sign a contract. You never check if they're acting normal after that. If attackers gain access in month three, you won't know until they're selling your employee data on dark web leak sites.

What You Need

Real-time visibility into every external connection. Know what normal behavior looks like. Catch when data is being exported. Catch when someone's accessing systems they've never touched before. Before it walks out the door. Get your External Connections Report. See which third-party vendors are touching your data and whether you can actually see them acting.
