Typical cyber incidents
Cybercrime provides a low-risk, high-gain opportunity for criminals
In 2019 the UK convicted only 57 cybercriminals, and despite cybercrime being a 1.5 trillion dollar industry, most other countries have similar conviction rates. As a result, cybercrime and digital fraud is rife in the business community.
Many businesses are unaware of the risk cybercrime poses to their business; they believe incidents are a ‘black swan’ event. The reality is quite the opposite. As incident responders, we see cybercrime’s prevalence firsthand. Here are examples of some of the most common incidents and how we have helped businesses respond to them.
Malicious software
Ransomware /Malware
Malware is software designed to disrupt, damage or corrupt a computer system.
The most common malware is Ransomware. Ransomware blocks access to a computer system until a sum of money is paid. Malware can be installed by simply clicking on the wrong link, or by a hacker who has breached your systems. We can determine the extent of a malware/ransomware incident, and as experts in containing malware, we can eradicate the infection and recover key systems.
Unauthorised access
Hacking/BEC
Hacking is the process of gaining unauthorised access to a computer system.
Hackers generally aim to get administrator privileges to crucial systems so they can deploy malicious code. Alternatively, they attempt to gain access to company communications in Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks, with focus on diverting payments and carrying out phishing attacks. Should this occur, we can help investigate and remediate incidents of unauthorised access.
Digital Blackmail
Cyber breaches & extortion
Cybercriminals regularly use stolen data to extort money from an organisation.
If a business is being blackmailed, we help determine the data stolen, the method used to extract information, and the negotiation. We also help with containment and eradication of the breach, and the recovery of critical business data.
Faulty hardware or network failure
System damage
System damage can be the result of a hack, faulty hardware, or a network failure.
As part of our membership, we assist businesses and any 3rd party service providers, to replace, restore, or re-collect lost data. We also help with encrypted, corrupted, or destroyed data resulting from a system damage incident.
Theft of funds
Cyber-enabled fraud
Cyber fraudsters impersonate employees, clients, or partners in view of intercepting funds.
Fraudsters target breached organisations gaining access to communication systems. They then move on to targetting customers and partners, often issuing fake invoices. If a fraudulent payment occurs, we can provide advice on the recovery of funds.
Service Disruption
Denial of service
A Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack disrupts a server or network making it inaccessible to intended users.
This is accomplished by flooding the target with traffic or sending it information that triggers the system to crash. Our specialists can help identify DoS attacks, assist with recovery, and advise on mitigation strategies to prevent further incidents.
These are just some examples of the potential cyber risks a business can face. By joining CyberCare, you can get on-demand incident response from some of the worlds leading experts. Our specialist expertise will be available when they are most needed.
