Behind The Hack
A quick look at how easily your business can be hacked.
These videos show a certified ethical hacker breaking into 3 computers in a matter of minutes.
The greatest risk to your business these days comes from hackers trying to break into your IT system. Automated tools enable hackers to target all businesses 24/7. They aim is to steal your data, your logins, or worse, hold your data for ransom. We contacted a certified ethical hacker and asked them to penetrate three computers using unique attack methods. We also asked if the attacks could be filmed from both ends, once as the attacker, and once again to show what was happening on the victims’ machines.
Ransomware
The first attack involves an ethical hacker encrypting data until payment of a large ransom is received to recover it. Even after a ransom is paid, the data is still unlikely to be recovered. In fact, after paying a ransom a company is more likely to be hit by further attacks.
Man in the Middle
In this second method of attack, our ethical hacker uses a fake login portal to get you to give away your login details. This attack is probably the one we see the most. It will surprise you how good the fake portals can look and just how easily you can fall victim to them.
Eternal Blue
We’ll conclude our hacker’s series by showing why it’s so important to keep your software and operating system fully up to date.
We see the consequences of these attacks every day and the repercussions that come with them.
