Smishing, or SMS phishing, is a type of cyber attack that involves the use of text messages to trick people into giving up sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, or other personal data. This type of attack is becoming more common as more people rely on their mobile devices for communication and transactions. The process of smishing begins with the attacker sending a text message to the victim, posing as a trusted organization such as a bank or government agency. The message usually contains a link that, when clicked, takes the victim to a fake website that looks like the real one. The victim is then prompted to enter their sensitive information, which is captured by the attacker and used for fraudulent activities. To prevent smishing, there are several steps you can take: 1. Be wary of text messages from unknown or unexpected sources. If you receive a message claiming to be from your bank, for example, but you don't recognize the phone number, it's best to ignore it and contact your bank directly to verify the message. 2. Don't click on links in text messages unless you are absolutely sure they are legitimate. Check the URL carefully to make sure it matches the website you are expecting to visit. If in doubt, go directly to the website in question by typing the URL into your browser manually. 3. Keep your mobile device's software up-to-date. This will help ensure that any security vulnerabilities are patched, making it harder for attackers to exploit them. 4. Use anti-malware software on your mobile device. This will help detect and block any malicious software that may be installed on your device, including malware that may be used in smishing attacks. 5. Be careful what information you share over text message. Never send sensitive information such as passwords or credit card numbers via text message, even if the message appears to be from a trusted source. In conclusion, smishing is a serious threat that can result in the loss of sensitive information and financial loss. By following these simple steps, you can reduce the risk of falling victim to a smishing attack and keep your personal information safe.

Phishing works and the 'phishermen' are getting better with baiting their hooks. Your employees are biting. Business phishing emails are the most clicked subject category across the world. These range from messages purporting to be from internal organizational departments, to external requests for information that convey a sense of urgency and entice users to take an action. Here are the top 10 'in the wild' attacks: Equipment and Software Update Mail Notification: You have 5 Encrypted Messages Amazon: Amazon - delayed shipping Google: Password Expiration Notice Action required: Your payment was declined Wells Fargo: Transfer Completed DocuSign: Please review and sign your document IT: IT Satisfaction Survey Zoom: [[manager_name]] has sent you a message via Zoom Message Portal Microsoft: Microsoft account security code We have seen a lot more business related subjects coming from HR/IT/Managers in recent months. Others involve logins on new devices and password resets. These attacks are effective because they could potentially affect users' daily work, and cause a person to react before thinking logically about the legitimacy of the email. The top 10 email SUBJECTS globally are: Google: You were mentioned in a document: "Strategic Plan Draft" HR: Important: Dress Code Changes HR: Vacation Policy Update Adobe Sign: Your Performance Review Password Check Required Immediately Acknowledge Your Appraisal IT: Internet Report Main points from today's meeting USAA: Account Suspension Employee Expense Reimbursement for [[email]] Finally, this is a ranking of top attack vector types used in KnowBe4 Phishing Security Tests.

Normally it is fairly easy to staff IT activities. There are plenty of people skilled in performing infrastructure operations, desktop support, development & application maintenance. You can either employ generalists or outsource the work to your IT service provider. The reverse is true for cyber security. There is a severe shortage of skilled people in this new discipline, and generalists are of little use. Intruders will quickly find and exploit gaps in your defenses, and so you need specialists who are just as smart as the hackers. The range of specialist skills is daunting: digital security architects; security for networks, servers, applications, end user devices; penetration testing; intrusion detection; incident response… just to name a few. Only large-cap companies can afford to employ a cohesive staff with all these specialist skills, and they have to pay a premium for such people. Mid-cap and small-cap companies have to make do with a few generalists, plus some staff augmentation by contractors or third party vendors. The obvious consequences are that the coverage is patchy; the defenses are good in places and bad in others; and the support is often limited to normal working hours. Intruders don’t work normal office hours, and they have tools to discover weaknesses and exploit them. On average it takes a company 212 days to discover a successful intrusion, and by then it is too late to do anything about it. Although you hear a lot about cyber hacking in the media, the vast majority of cases go unreported because the victim never discovered the intrusion, or does not want clients to know about their exposure. Nature has a way of correcting these imbalances in skills, and no doubt Universities and technical colleges will be producing a wave of cyber security graduates within the next decade. Meantime, you have a couple of choices to keep the barbarians out of your fortress. Engage a company that provides a “Virtual CISO” team. They have dozens of specialists that cover the entire spectrum of cyber security skills and best-practices, and they can provide you with a changing blend of fractional specialists (say one day per month of ethical hacking) according to your needs. So when a compromise is detected, they can storm the problem with lots of people for a short time and snuff out the attack, but still maintain a low average staffing (say one full time equivalent) and an affordable cost. Your second option is to upskill your team with CISSP training (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) with an accelerated program of less than one year. Integrated Cyber offers both of these solutions, and would be pleased to solve your problems for you!

When you see your doctor for a medical check-up, the results are kind of predictable, and not very actionable – lose weight, get more exercise, and avoid stress. A cybersecurity health check can be much more insightful and actionable, and I recommend that your company does this regularly. A cyber security diagnostic includes: 1) Focus on the important stuff. Does your company have a document classification scheme that allows you to identify the relatively small proportion of highly sensitive information, thereby allowing you to take special measures to protect it? 2) Awareness. Do your staff appreciate the threat, understand the common techniques used by hackers, and follow your company guidelines on good practices? 3) Prevention. Do you have an adequate set of products in place (firewalls, anti-virus software, URL blocking etc.) to avoid an intruder finding an easy gap in your defenses? Are these devices properly configured to work together? Do you have good processes to oversee your defenses? Have you conducted an independent penetration test to see how this works in practice? 4) Detection. How good is your security architecture at detecting a successful intrusion? Do you have the skilled staff and processes to see these alerts buried in all the noise of thousands of security events every day? 5) Reaction. Do you have skilled staff who can respond promptly to an intrusion, and minimize the impact? Do you have an incident response plan for a significant event that addresses all the consequences (operational, legal, PR etc.). When did you last hold a practical test of how well that plan copes with a real event? 6) Day-to-Day operations. Do you understand the strengths, weaknesses and improvement plan you should be following? Is this dependent on a few key staff members? How trustworthy are they with your sensitive assets, and how would you cope with one of them leaving suddenly? Whether it be your personal health, or the health of your company cyber security controls, you should always seek the advice of an experienced professional who does this work all the time. They will recognize the symptoms of a problem much quicker than someone close to you, and they have a deeper knowledge of your choices in dealing with a problem. Just as a general practitioner may advise major surgery and a specialist may come up with much less intrusive solutions, the same is true in cyber security. There is a great deal of nonsense and misinformation surrounding this topic, and an expert specialist may be able to help you avoid wasted spend and painful consequences. Companies that undertake a cyber security health check are generally dismayed by the findings, but a year later they are in much better shape and spending less on this issue than they were before because they took the medicine prescribed for them.

The following content is republished from Cysurance, the leader in protecting and recovering businesses from the cybersecurity threats facing every day. The Evolving Risk Landscape for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses In the days of old, a small or medium-sized business’s potential risk landscape was relatively well-understood. From natural catastrophes to slip-and-falls to injured employees, the risks were well documented and well analyzed, best practices for reducing or preventing loss were established, and appropriate insurance coverages were widely available. When losses did occur they were relatively easy to verify and quantify, reducing downtime. Those days are long gone. In our modern, connected world, the proliferation of online commerce, the Internet of Things, cloud computing and automation has opened new doors for sales, distribution, operations and customer service. But they have also opened new doors for hackers and created new opportunities for employee error. Technology has become a gift and a curse, and the exposures it creates require not only modern security software, but tailored, comprehensive cyber insurance as well. From 2016 through 2018, cyber incidents increased by 81 percent according to the Chubb Cyber Index. And if you’re thinking that number is driven by losses at large, Fortune 500 companies, think again. In the same period, companies with less than $10M in revenue have seen cyber incidents increase by 254 percent. But why are more than half of all cyberattacks – 62 percent in 2016[1] – directed at small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs)? After all their market share, data, and revenue are dwarfed by large corporations. But so are their IT budgets and cybersecurity programs, meaning most cannot make the significant investment needed to secure comprehensive protection against cyber risks. As a result, SMBs often run outdated or unpatched software, lack proper password hygiene, transmit unencrypted data, or fail to properly secure endpoint devices – making them ideal targets for attackers. And while a single such company may not provide a big payday, the SMB industry in aggregate offers a substantial cumulative payout without the front-page headlines of an attack on a major global corporate. With the financial damages of cyber crime projected to reach $6 trillion annually by 2021 – more than double the same figure from 2015[2] - small and medium-sized business owners cannot afford to assume they are not a target. As we say in the industry, it’s not a matter of if you will be attacked, but when. Case in point: a U.S. government IT contractor who works with over 20 federal agencies recently announced one of its internal servers had been breached and that hackers claimed to have sold the company’s data on the dark web. Despite appropriate industry certifications, a management team averaging over 25 years of experience, and internal policies educating employees about malicious emails, the company’s president suspects the attacker gained access via a phishing email – one of the oldest, and most effective, cyberattacks in which the hacker disguises him/herself as a trusted entity and fraudulently obtains sensitive information. As a result, the company had to shut off the affected server for five days, run scans of its network, and hire a cybersecurity forensics firm, costing it between $500 thousand and $1 million in total. It’s also had to reexamine its security and employee training policies. The company’s president called the event a “learning experience” and said “it could happen to anyone. We keep hearing about these hacks all the time…this is not going to go away…We want to see that this doesn’t happen to any other small business…” While not the case here, those types of losses have the potential to put an SMB out of business. Even if the business is able to resume operations, the intangible impact to brand reputation and customer loyalty can have far-reaching consequences that can impact revenue long after the breach has been discovered and patched. What is interesting about this attack is that the same account that sold the stolen data has been active since January 2011 and has claimed other victims such as hotels in Dubai and a healthcare organization in Louisiana. This demonstrates the broad-brush, “low-hanging fruit” philosophy of many hackers and is the reason even SMBs with proven track records and basic cybersecurity procedures must always assume they are being targeted and continually update software, training procedures, and risk transfer solutions. In addition, the investigation of the attack – which employed Emotet, a form of malware usually deployed via phishing scams which then installs other malicious software on a network – indicated that at least eight of the company’s internal systems were compromised on three separate occasions between November 2018 and July 2019. Unlike, say, a hurricane, the SMB had no warning of the attack nor any knowledge of its impact for nearly a year, creating the potential for a much larger and more complex loss. Another way cyber threats differ from other exposures faced by small and medium-sized businesses is that the SMB doesn’t even have to be the target of the attack to be affected. In early 2018, the city of Allentown, PA suffered a malware attack that cost it nearly $1 million. Despite “extensive” antivirus and firewall systems, the city’s financial operations were impacted, and its finance department was unable to make any external banking transactions until the breach was fixed. Hackers are also growing more detail-oriented in their efforts to convince targets of the validity of phishing scams and other cyberattacks. When the owner of a hotel development company had his email hacked, the perpetrator gained access to a long history of correspondence with the firm’s bookkeeper and all the details needed to commit wire fraud, costing the business over $1 million. According to the owner, the attacker mimicked his style and language to give the accountant a false sense of security. And because his online calendar was also compromised, the wire requests always came when he was in meetings. As a result, the attacker was able to respond to questions, complete the transfer and delete all record of the communications before the owner could check his email. This continued for several weeks before being discovered by the business. This illustrates a very important point many SMBs don’t realize – under the Uniform Commercial Code, banks are not liable for losses to a business account in the same way they are for losses to a personal account, even if the businessowner is a single person. As long as the bank uses “commercially reasonable safeguards” to protects its business account owners’ data, they do not have to repay stolen funds. In this case, there were multiple warning signs that should have alerted the bank to fraud – including the size, frequency and destination (China) of the fraudulent transfers – but the bank declined to reimburse the businessowner. This also demonstrates the importance of enabling Dual Authorization for ACH transactions and wire transfers. With this security feature, a single user cannot initiate and authorize a funds transfer. In the above example, the bookkeeper’s request for funds could not have been authorized and completed without the owner signing off in a separate, secure platform. While it is always recommended that a requested transaction be confirmed by a direct phone call between the parties, this added layer of security can help prevent fraudulent payments. These are just a few examples of the risks SMBs face without trusted financial and insurance partners. When combined with potential customer lawsuits, the cost of complying with different jurisdictions and regulations in every state, reputational damage, and the impact to employees, it is easy to see how 60 percent of SMB’s suffering a cyber breach go out of business within 6 months[3]. Cysurance can assist your small or medium sized-business by recommending insurance coverages that may help protect your own, your customers’ and your vendors’ networks and data. The policy, which in most cases does not require an individual application or underwriting, offers broad terms and conditions that may help you recover from a cyber incident more quickly and completely, such as payments to third-party experts to fix the problem, no deductible for remediation services and an included cybercrime endorsement. Further, Cysurance’s proprietary network sensor monitors your network for breaches in real-time, and if an attack occurs its blockchain-powered smart contract provides automated, irrevocable breach verification to enable full transparency, and also automatically triggers the breach response team. In today’s connected world, SMBs face a cyberattack every 14 seconds[4].

While we see articles and posts on the state of cybersecurity all the time, the Verizon 2020 Data Breach Investigation report has some great insight and information that should help you become more aware, help you plan future strategy, and help you justify budget and resource allocation to protect your business. Here are some key takeaways from the report: 1. Many believe shady Internal actors to be the most common cause of breaches, but the DBIR data continues to show that External actors are—and always have been—more common. In fact, 70% of breaches this year were caused by outsiders. 2. Espionage gets the headlines but accounts for just 10% of breaches in this year’s data. The majority (86% of breaches) continue to be financially motivated. Advanced threats— which also get lots of buzz—represent only 4% of breaches. Credential theft, social attacks (i.e., phishing and business email compromise) and errors cause the majority of breaches (67% or more). These tactics prove effective for attackers, so they return to them time and again. For most organizations, these three tactics should be the focus of the bulk of security efforts. 3. Ransomware now accounts for 27% of Malware incidents, and 18% of organizations blocked at least one piece of ransomware. No organization can afford to ignore it. Oh, what a tangled web application Attacks on web apps were a part of 43% of breaches, more than double the results from last year. As workflows move to cloud services, it makes sense for attackers to follow. The most common methods of attacking web apps are using stolen or brute-forced credentials (over 80%) or exploiting vulnerabilities (less than 20%) in the web application to gain access to sensitive information. 4. Personal data is getting swiped more often—or those thefts are being reported more often due to disclosure regulations. Either way, Personal data was involved in 58% of breaches, nearly twice the percentage in last year’s data. This includes email addresses, names, phone numbers, physical addresses and other types of data that one might find hiding in an email or stored in a misconfigured database. 5. This year’s DBIR saw a high number of internal-error-related breaches (881, versus last year’s 424). While people are certainly still far from perfect, this increase is likely due to improved reporting requirements because of new legislation and changes in existing law rather than insiders making more frequent mistakes. 6. Security tools are getting better at blocking common malware. The DBIR data shows that Trojan-type malware peaked at just under 50% of all breaches in 2016 and has since dropped to just 6.5%. Malware sampling indicates that 45% of malware is either droppers, backdoors or keyloggers. Although this kind of threat is still plentiful, much of it is being blocked successfully. 7. Less than 5% of breaches involved the exploitation of a vulnerability. In our dataset, we do not see attackers attempting these kinds of attacks that often; only 2.5% of security information and event management (SIEM) events involved exploiting a vulnerability. This finding suggests that most organizations are doing a good job at patching—so keep it up. However, while patching does seem to be working, poor asset management can hide big problems. Most organizations we see have internet-facing assets spread across five or more networks. It’s the forgotten assets that never get patched that can create dangerous holes in your defenses. Finally, Credential theft, errors and social attacks are the three most common culprits in breaches. Employees working from home could be particularly vulnerable to these attacks. In these uncertain times, it makes sense to focus prevention efforts here Get the full report by visiting: https://enterprise.verizon.com/resources/reports/dbir/

While the Deloitte survey is almost one year old, it resonates, even more, today than it did in 2019. What jumps out from the study are the following points: Education & Awareness. The most successful programs exhibit several core traits, including setting a tone at the top of an organization, with both executives and the board The need to raise cybersecurity's profile beyond the IT department to give the security function higher-level attention and greater clout You must align cybersecurity efforts with the company's business strategy MONEY! Companies spend an average of 10% of their IT budget on cybersecurity. Spending PER EMPLOYEE averages USD $1,300 to USD 3,000 for cybersecurity Large firms spent nearly 20% of their budget on identity and access management – 2x more than small/medium firms Smaller/Midsize firms spent more on end-point and network security Central Theme HOW a security program is planned, executed, and governed is likely as important as how much money is devoted to cybersecurity.

Digital credentials, such as usernames and passwords, connect you and your employees to critical business applications, as well as online services. Unfortunately, criminals know this — and that’s why digital credentials are among the most valuable assets found on the Dark Web. A DARK AND DANGEROUS PLACE The Dark Web is made up of digital communities that sit on top of the Internet, and while there are legitimate purposes to the Dark Web, it is estimated that over 50% of all sites on the Dark Web are used for criminal activities, including the disclosure and sale of digital credentials. Far too often, companies that have had their credentials compromised and sold on the Dark Web don’t know it until they have been informed by law enforcement — but by then, it’s too late. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? When your employees use their work email on third party websites, like the types listed below, it makes your business vulnerable to a breach. With our Dark Web Monitoring, we can detect if your company is at risk due to exposed credentials on those websites. HR & Payroll Email Services CRM Travel Sites Banking Social Media WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS? By utilizing Dark Web ID™, a combination of human and sophisticated Dark Web intelligence with search capabilities, you are able to identify, analyze and proactively monitor for your organization’s compromised or stolen employee and customer data. PREVENT Attacks on networks may be inevitable, but proactive monitoring of stolen and compromised data allows you to respond to a threat immediately to prevent a major breach MONITOR 24x7 Hidden chat rooms Private websites Peer-to-peer networks IRC (internet relay chat) channels Social media platforms Black market sites 640,000+ botnets REPORT With 80,000+ compromised emails daily, the platform provides extensive reporting capabilities to track and triage incidents. PREDICT Dark Web ID allows us to see industry patterns long before they become trends and offers the intelligence to keep you and your employees more protected. HOW DARK WEB ID PROTECTS YOUR BUSINESS Connects to multiple Dark Web services including Tor, I2P, and Freenet, to search for compromised credentials, without requiring you to connect to these high-risk services directly. It provides intelligent awareness of compromised credentials before breaches occur. WHY IT’S IMPORTANT Compromised credentials are used to conduct further criminal activity. Employees often use the same password for multiple services, such as network login, social media, and SaaS business applications, exponentially increasing the potential damage from a single compromised credential. Limited visibility when credentials are stolen; over 75% of compromised credentials are reported to the victim’s organization by a third party, such as law enforcement. Let us run a Dark Web Scan so you know what's out there.
