#CybersecurityAwareness #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth Day 11 Ransomware is one of the most common types of malware. It gets downloaded onto a victim’s computing device through many different techniques such as social engineering and exploitation of a vulnerability. Then it would encrypt files on the device, making it unusable, and leaves a ransom note demanding payment, which is where ransomware got its name. The ransomware also tries to spread throughout the network so it can take more devices and data hostage. Ransomware is such a lucrative “business” nowadays that there are many organized groups specifically created to extort money from individuals and businesses. In 2023, ransomware attacks brought in US$1.1 billion by one estimate, and almost three quarters of organizations reported at least one ransomware attack. It is critical to have all the necessary defences in place to protect against ransomware attacks.

#CybersecurityAwareness #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth Day 9 Social engineering is an attempt to trick someone into revealing information. The information can be personal details about the victim, his/her password, and knowledge he/she may know about systems. The collected details are then usually used to gain unauthorized access to data and/or assets. Research show that more than 80% of data breaches are caused by social engineering. There are different types of social engineering techniques. Phishing tricks victims using emails or fake websites. Vishing tricks victims by impersonating someone’s voice, and smishing tricks victims by impersonating a legitimate individual or business using SMS texting. It is important for people to recognize social engineering attempts so they do not lead to a breach.

#CybersecurityAwareness #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth Day 8 A breach happens when a threat actor gains unauthorized access to an organization’s data or assets. A data breach is when an unauthorized party gains access to an organization’s data. In the modern cybersecurity landscape, data breaches occur frequently. For example, Kootenai Health reported a data breach in August 2024, and health records and other personal information of about 460,000 clients were compromised. Breaches have a lot of consequences for the organization, their clients and their partners. Stolen data gets sold, is used to extort victims, is used for espionage, and more. Breaches are costly in many respects, including legal, financial and reputation, and is why having good cybersecurity is critical for a business.
