Companies with weak or non-existent cybersecurity are easy targets for hackers.
With names like AstraLocker, RedAlert, CheckMate and Maui, today’s ransomware programs sound more like video games than programs that will shut down a network, steal customer information and disrupt a business for weeks or longer. According to CFC, a specialist insurance provider, you can add another ransomware risk to the list. The latest entrant, known as “BazarCall,” targets small businesses in particular.
The attack involves the use of a phishing email that tricks a target into phoning a call center, where they are then instructed to download malicious software and basically infect their own computers. Once the software is downloaded, hackers can implement undetected ransomware attacks.
