About this video
Cryptographic Failures — formerly known as "Sensitive Data Exposure" — are the #2 web application security risk in the OWASP Top 10.
In this quick breakdown, we’ll show how weak or missing encryption can expose user credentials, credit card data, and more.
🚫 Storing passwords in plain text? Using HTTP instead of HTTPS? That’s how attackers win.
✅ Protect your app with:
- TLS 1.3 (for secure transmission)
- Strong password hashing (bcrypt, Argon2)
- Zero custom cryptography
