In the past few years, zero-click attacks have become more rampant than ever before. Zero-click attacks, as the name suggests, are phishing scams that don’t require any action from the victim. This means that even the most experienced internet users can fall victim to these cyberattacks.

Zero-click attacks use sophisticated tricks and are highly targeted. The attacks are 10X riskier than the normal cyberattacks and can have severe consequences without the affected person even realizing it. It requires extra vigilance and anti-cyber attack technology to detect and thwart zero-click malware attacks.

Every company and individual using technology is at risk of a cyberattack. 

Cybersecurity is more important than ever due to the fact that our world has increased usage of technology to conduct day-to-day transactions, as well as increased the amount of sensitive and confidential information that is delivered via online methods such as email. Taking the proper steps of reviewing existing protocols and adding additional security features if needed is beneficial for protection against cyberattacks, data breaches, and unauthorized user access. 

As if the challenges of COVID-19 weren’t enough, Ransomware has become an increasing threat to business in 2020. (see our January 2020 blog). NOT paying a ransom to regain access to your files has always been the recommended option, providing all precautions have been taken to backup critical information. A new incentive has now been put in place by the Federal Government to discourage the paying of the ransom. Many of these ransomware hackers are not simply individuals looking for a quick buck but are well-established criminal organizations in countries regarded as enemies of the Western World or the United States.
