What's the Danger
of the Dark Web?
Most of us have been involved in a third-party breach, whether we know it or not. From Experian to Target, many big businesses have sent the dreaded email to their customers, informing them that their data has been stolen and there's nothing they can do about it. If you've ever been involved in this situation, maybe you changed your password, were offered free credit monitoring for your trouble, and then it was back to your normal day-to-day. These breaches quickly leave our minds, and our compromised credentials become another casualty of the war on cyber crime.
But, is that really all there is to it? What is the danger behind the scenes that can come back to haunt us or even close our business's doors forever?
Social Engineering
Using compromised personal information, criminals can create convincing social engineering attacks. Attacks can range from impersonating your CEO to make a purchase or wire transfer to sending a fake password reset email to trick you into providing your credentials. The threats of customized, sophisticated scams only increase as more of your information is exposed.
Password Reuse
If a password that is reused becomes compromised, it can put your other accounts at risk. Do you use those same credentials for your online bank account, social media platforms, network login, or anywhere else? If yes, you're putting your company and your data at risk. If you're involved in a breach, make sure you change your password EVERYWHERE it is being used.
Your Livelihood
Whether cybercriminals are selling stolen credentials or deleting medical files, these attackers are financially motivated to steal, hold ransom, or compromise personal data. Unfortunately, small and medium-sized businesses and healthcare organizations are especially at risk of being targeted due to a lack of time, money, and resources to dedicate towards cybersecurity.
How Do I Stop It?
Prevention and Preperation
As security incidents and cases of compromised credentials continue to rise, it's no longer if, but when you or your business will be involved. The only way to minimize your risk of becoming part of the 60% of businesses that close their doors after a security incident is to apply a proactive security program that focuses on human security, cybersecurity risks, compliance, and incident response.
