AT technology Inc.

ARE YOU PREPARED?
Over the last year and a half, if we have learned anything, we know that the pandemic caused a global shift to remote and hybrid work. It forced organizations to review the way they operate practically overnight, with little to no preparation and where most organizations saw crisis, cybercriminals saw opportunity.
Cybercriminals changed their approached – small or large, we are now all at risk. The question is now, how do we protect ourselves and our vulnerability?
Here are a few startling facts:
• More than 6 in 10 companies suffered a ransomware attack last year Up 61% from 2019- On average, organizations experienced 6 days of downtime as a result.
• The increase in email threats rose by 64% in 2020
• 79% of organizations were hurt by their lack of cyber preparedness.
What will you do to be better prepared and focus on your business? Knowing you have the necessary cyber risk coverage to keep your organization protected should be the first step.
Cyber Security Insurance
How do you explain cyber insurance?
Cyber insurance generally covers your business' liability for a data breach involving sensitive customer information, such as Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, account numbers, driver's license numbers and health records.

Do we need cyber security insurance?
For most businesses the answer is yes, you really do need cyber insurance. However, it's important that you take proactive measures to ensure proper security policies are in place and that the tools such as endpoint security software are up-to-date to help minimize risk.

We can help you navigate on the type of Cyber Security Insurance you should have.

As Cyber October comes to an end, I wanted to send this reminder...

Cyber criminals will use whatever they can to trick us into taking the action they want us to. And that includes CAPTCHA. You know, the bot that checks you’re not a bot. For example, when you’re logging in, you have to click all the pictures of the trucks, stop lights or crosswalks. Now they’re being used to hide illegal websites that are copies of proper sites (such as your bank’s login page). You can’t see the pages until you’ve passed the CAPTCHA. And because they’re hiding the content of the pages, security software looking for bad sites can’t detect anything malicious. This helps make the spoofed site look legitimate. This is not a new ploy from cyber criminals, but it’s definitely growing. It’s estimated more than 500 new websites hiding behind CAPTCHA go online every day. So how can you tell the genuine ones from the fakes? Sometimes on fake CAPTCHA pages the images are always the same, rather than changing each time you visit the page. Another good indicator that it’s a fake is that the audio replay function doesn’t work, unlike on a genuine CAPTCHA page.

Hopefully you’re aware of the risks of fake accounts on social media. Accounts are created to catfish; con people out of money; and for other kinds of exploitation.

But did you know that fake accounts can be created for other services too?

Most of the businesses we interact with now need you to create an account. Think food ordering, online shopping, maybe even for businesses like yours.

But what’s the harm in that, right? These fakes won’t be creating accounts on your website to trick you into anything. They won’t be able to access your products or services for free. Aside from creating spam in your CRM, what’s the problem?

Actually, these fake accounts can result in huge fraud. Recently, for example, the US Secret Service announced it had recovered $2 billion in fraudulent Covid-19 relief claims.

And it’s on the rise, because there are now software tools which automate account creation and mask real identities.

In the world of retail, bots exist to buy up limited edition or highly desired items, with a view to reselling them for a higher price. And the lengths these bots go to, in order to make fake email accounts look like real humans is incredible.

They sign up to mailing lists, send emails, watch YouTube videos, all to build up normal email account activity, before creating accounts with the desired retailer, ready for the drop.

When the item is released, these bots are all logged in and checking out at the sametime, making it next to impossible for real humans to make a purchase.

While this may not directly affect your business in this way, it’s making it very difficult for all of us to be recognized as real individuals online. It may be only a matter of time before this is recognized as a form of fraud.

Have you considered how fake account fraud could affect your business? Perhaps it’s time to take a look at the way accounts are created to do business with you.
