When dealing with ransomware attacks it’s important to remember that you are negotiating with criminals! Most hackers will collect the payment and then either delete your data anyway or sell it on the dark web for an extra payday. Do not trust them. If you’re the victim of a ransomware attack, call an IT professional immediately, but the best thing you can do is get the right security systems in place to prevent it from happening in the first place. #ransomware #cybersecurity #businessadvice #hackers #technews #911IT #SaltLakeCityIT

When you are the victim of a cyber attack people don’t think of you as the victim, they ask what you screwed up to cause this to happen. Word gets around and can result in less customers wanting to do business with you. Not only that, you’ll likely lose money during the time your systems will be down to recover from attack. Could your business carry on if you were down for a week? What about a month? Cyber insurance is not enough. You need to be actively working to keep your network secure.

Cybercriminals have been perfecting fake bank emails used for phishing for years and they are good! Unless they slip up and make obvious mistakes or you’ve had cyber security training and know what to look for, you might not be able to tell the difference. The best thing to do is not respond. Open up the app or call the number on your card or the website to confirm that it’s a legitimate request. It takes a few extra minutes but could save you a big headache later. #financetip #cybersecurity #businessadvice #scamalert #technews #911IT #SaltLakeCityIT
