Recently, the G2 Web Services team was involved in Operation Pangea VI, the annual international internet effort targeting the illegal online sale of counterfeit and unlicensed medicines and the criminal organizations behind them.

Operation Pangea is coordinated by INTERPOL, the World Customs Organization (WCO), and other international government and law enforcement agencies, and is the largest internet-based action of its kind. G2 Web Services worked behind the scenes to identify websites, map merchant relationships, and confirm merchant accounts transacting on sites selling illegal pharmaceuticals.

Cyberlockers are third party file-sharing – also known as “file hosting” – services. Examples of popular cyberlockers are DropBox, Hotfile, MegaVideo, and RapidShare. While there are practical applications for this type of service – such as transferring documents and photos between friends, or collaborating with remote colleagues – these file sharing merchants can also pose immense risk to acquirers. Cyberlockers have been repeatedly found to be associated with brand damaging, risky, or even illegal content, including violent video and intellectual property rights infringement. This business model is currently largely unregulated and very difficult to monitor, so acquirers should proceed with caution.

Millions of pieces of “Personally Identifiable Information” (PII) are compromised each year due to data breaches, theft by an employee or loss of the data by the company. Yet surprisingly, 69% of small business do not believe that there would be a significant financial impact or harm to their business reputation if they experienced a data breach, according to a recent study conducted by Ipsos Reid. This study also found that:

  • 40% of small business owners have no protocols in place for securing data, a five percent increase from last year.
  • More than 1/3 of the small businesses report that they never train staff on information security procedures.
  • 48% of small businesses don’t have anyone directly responsible for management of data security.

G2 joins PCI Security Standards Council and announces its enhanced Service Provider Sentinel offering, which aims to improve payment data security among a growing landscape of largely unsecure service providers.

Bellevue, WA, July 18, 2012 – G2 Web Services, LLC, the recognized leader in e-commerce risk management, today announced its enhanced Service Provider Sentinel offering, a combination of technology, accelerated human analysis, and G2’s proprietary merchant map that enables acquiring banks to more quickly address and mitigate the growing risk of unregistered service providers. Service providers are entities that offer services to merchants that may control or impact the security of cardholder data. Acquiring banks often do not know which service providers their merchants are using, whether they are secure, or if they are properly registered with the card networks. All these factors pose great risk to acquiring banks for costly and brand-damaging data breaches and account data compromise.
