Just seven months after the project’s start, the Open Web Application Security Project’s Top 10 Privacy Risks Project has released its first list of findings. Headed up by Florian Stahl, CIPT, and Stefan Burgmair, the project, quite simply, aims to document the top 10 privacy risks in web applications, consulting with volunteers and experts from across the globe. “The result,” reads the project’s description, “is a list covering technological and organizational aspects focusing on real-life risks and not only legal issues.” The top three risks include web application vulnerabilities, operator-sided data leakage and insufficient data breach response.
