Real Stories Of How Cyberattacks Can Impact Your Business

We had one client who came to us after losing $25,000 to a cybercriminal.

A hacker had been watching the client’s unprotected company emails. They picked up on a recurring invoice of $25,000 that was being sent and paid by the client each month. They sent a phishing email on the same day the invoice was normally due, posing as the payee. The client unknowingly paid the invoice and the payment immediately went to an untraceable offshore account.

If the client had been enrolled in our cybersecurity services, the Email Protection feature would have prevented this phishing email from ever coming through to their inbox.

Another case we came across was a company who had been hit with a ransomware attack.

The hackers locked up their whole network, making it impossible for them to conduct business as normal. The only way they’d release access back to the client is if they wired them $2.2 million.

The client had no choice but to pay the ransom. For many businesses, this type of an attack would cause them to close their doors for good.

The risk? You’re dealing with criminals. You could pay the ransom with no guarantee that they will actually release access to your devices and network back to you.
