In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses issues with the payment system at the department store Copel following a recent cybersecurity incident. Users noticed their debts appeared to be zeroed out temporarily, leading to confusion and discussions on social media.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses a security breach involving stolen databases from Copel, which are circulating on the black market. The speaker highlights potential vulnerabilities that could have led to this breach, emphasizing the importance of following security protocols such as the OWASP Top 10. Key suggestions include ensuring strong authentication for system access, restricting database connections to specific IPs, and limiting user permissions to only necessary functions. The speaker points out that failure to adhere to these policies likely facilitated the unauthorized access and extraction of sensitive client information, including personal details and debts.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the concept and importance of database backups, specifically the differences between full backups and partial backups. They highlight that full backups save all transactions from the beginning, making recovery a very slow process, especially for large databases, while partial backups allow for quicker recovery by focusing on the most recent data. The speaker emphasizes the need for storing backups separately from the main server to prevent data loss in case of unauthorized access. They also stress the importance of taking data security seriously, given the increasing frequency of cyber-attacks on large stores, which can result in significant financial losses. The speaker encourages viewers to consider their advice seriously to avoid potential business bankruptcies due to data breaches.
