When it comes to Cyber Security - You want us on your side!
Is your computer system running slow? Is your computer or website displaying unexplainable or suspicious behavior?
Do you sense or fear somebody is stealing from you (money, clients, orders, privacy data)?
How do you know if your computer, database or website has been hacked into?
Many business users are "innocent" victims of Internet phishing and computer vandalism.
Corporate and client data systems can be breached and the back door left open and then it's totally accessible to some hacker on the other side of the world.
The hacker can do it for profit, terrorism, fun, or has been ordered specifically to hurt you.
It begins with a malicious email, a virus on a worker's USB stick, or even from remote support that has installed a simple program such as "clean my pc".
There are no visual clues left that you've been hacked. A silent trojan horse has been installed on your system that quietly sits there and waits for his boss' commands - his boss, not your boss :-(
Sometimes this "virus" is tampering with your data. For example, a well known attack is to shove a 5th digit onto an accounting transaction and transfer it to the hacker's account. Most of the time, it would take few years until you caught on.
- Viruses - worms and/or trojan horse
- DDoSA (Distributed Denial of Service Attack) is very popular attack by terrorist on many websites these days. There is no gain other than causing your computer's resources to run slow or crash.
- Stealing network resources and/or traffic
- Hijacking Attacks that alter website or corporate data content
- Spyware Exactly as it sounds. It silently gathers information about you or your organization and sends it to another entity without your consent
- Phishing Phishing Attack gains sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details using malicious code, by appearing as a trustworthy sender in an e-mail communication.
- Adware It's a virus which automatically renders advertisements on your website or computer in order to generate revenue for its vendor
- Database injection You wouldn't believe how simple it is to use your company website to access the corporate database in order to:
- Read it - client's data, credit cards
- Write into it Fake orders, adding new suppliers
- Delete it (yes, I have witnessed it!)
- Hardware snooping using your smartphone camera, it records meetings you attend or a keyboard logger that sends the hacker everything you type on your keyboard (including online banking passwords) to steal your identity or even worse
