How Cyber Threats Prey On Innocent Businesses
Every day, businesses fall victim to the many scams on the internet. Therefore, organizations should safeguard their company, employees, and customers. Don’t potentially ruin your business at the hands of cybercriminals and lose out on the lucrative online marketplace. Complacency is a hacker’s best friend. So instead, take a proactive stance on your security strategy by learning about some hacking methodologies. Here are some common traps:
Social Media
Do you love surfing Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and others? You probably heard many people being victimized by sketchy links found on those platforms. These links can install unwanted programs that carry ransomware. But do you ever wonder why people fall into these traps? It's because people are more likely to click on links shared by their social media friends. So be careful of links even when posted by your friends.
Online Extortion
Just like criminals steal cars and kidnap people for ransom, they also freeze your personal information and files. Then force you to pay hundreds of dollars to buy your information back. In 2014, this type of cyberattack surged by 113% creating a new class of victims.
Technically Tailored Attacks
Cybercriminals may also show off their “advanced skills.” They'll come up with targeted attacks like malware, phishing, and ransomware. These attacks are often strategically executed and performed with special software.
These are only a few of the attacks that not only affect businesses but also the general public. Due to the impact of these attacks, businesses must implement a comprehensive security strategy. Ideally, the first step is to incorporate a security solution that features layers of protection in addition to advance technology. Moreover, optimizing the technology, your solution suite should be backed by knowledgeable cybersecurity experts. cWatch Web security provides a suite of fully managed solutions so you can focus on what matters most, your business.
