Perspective
Travis Doering began his career working as a technical consultant and custom software developer providing information security consultancy services for high-risk individuals and businesses. In addition to his work in these fields, Doering has published many articles revealing security breaches and vulnerabilities leading to investigations by Forbes,[7] The Washington Times,[8] PC Magazine and among others.
BitDefender Breach (2015)
In July 2015, Doering published an article on a security breach at the antivirus maker BitDefender. The article revealed that a hacker known as "DetoxRansome" had extracted customer login credentials from BitDefender and demanded a $15,000 ransom to prevent the leak of a customer database. BitDefender acknowledged the breach and the company refused to pay the ransom, instead choosing to work with law enforcement to investigate the incident.[9]
iCloud Vulnerabilities (2015)
In September 2015, Doering released a documentary titled "Vulnerability: The Secrets Behind iCloud Hacking" which Doering produced. The documentary exposed previously unknown vulnerabilities being exploited by an underground hacking collective known as RipSec, whose members breached over eleven thousand iCloud accounts, a significant portion of which belonged to Hollywood celebrities including Amanda Seyfried, Kate Mara, and Jamie Foxx.[10]
NCIX Data Breach (2018)
In September 2018, Doering posted an editorial titled "NCIX Data Breach" on the blog of his then-cybersecurity company Privacy Fly. It outlined a severe data breach at bankrupt Canadian retailer NCIX in which millions of business records detailing 15 years' worth of transactions were sold in a series of backroom deals. Doering published substantial evidence including exposed credit cards, addresses, order histories, and employee social insurance numbers. The editorial prompted an investigation by the RCMP and Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of British Columbia, which resulted in the seizure of the servers being sold. However, by that time, most of the data had already been sold to overseas buyers.[11]
Wings Restaurant Chain Hack (2024)
In January 2024, in a post on the company website for MomentPort, Doering identified and documented a security breach at Wings Restaurant Chain. His analysis revealed that threat actor TA569 had compromised the company's website to deliver malware through fake browser updates and unauthorized advertisements. Through technical investigation, Doering discovered obfuscated code that linked the attack to servers associated with known malicious actors TA569.[12]
IYUNO Data Breach (2024)
In August 2024, MomentPort's security team led by Doering discovered a major leak of unreleased film and television content when monitoring software they had developed for a film industry client detected media files being shared online. Their investigation revealed that IYUNO, a media localization company serving major studios, had experienced a security breach. MomentPort's analysis determined the breach likely originated from an insecurely deployed API in IYUNO's content management system. Netflix subsequently confirmed the breach at their post-production partner and announced they were taking action to address the leaked content.[13]
