Scams in the Post-CloudStrike Outage era As the fallout from the faulty CloudStrike update release and all the outages globally that followed rumbles on, there has been some talk of scammers using it create scams. At SecureSphere (NZ), we have seen some examples of these scams and for the most part, they have been pretty easy to spot. However, it is concerning that we have verified reports of some people and/or business falling for the scams. At this time (and at all times to be honest), it is important to not rush in trying to get systems restored and verify any instructions on how to restore. Although no SecureSphere (NZ) customers were caught up in the outages, and very few New Zealand businesses have publicly admitted to having issues, SecureSphere (NZ) has resources for helping, even if it is just "boots on the ground". SecureSphere (NZ) can also help to create Business Continuity plans, as outages like that caused by the faulty CloudStrike update will continue to occur in the future. #scams #cloudstrike #businesscontinuity
