Quick fix for a $150,000 email mistake
One small company came to us for help securing their network after a breach. What happened? Hackers gained access to their email system and used it to send out fraudulent invoices. The company’s clients paid false invoices to the tune of almost $150,000. Insurance did not cover the losses.
The hackers accessed a global admin account and from there created their own email account. The organization did not use multifactor authentication
We got rid of the bad account, required everyone to update their passwords and set up MFA. Not having MFA was a costly mistake.
Back to work after a $500,000 ransomware attack
Another small company came to us after they became a victim of ransomware and extortion. Hackers acquired employee data and posted salaries online.
While we got the business operational in about a week, it took three months for them to become fully functional again.
We had to rebuild what they had with limited resources during the pandemic, even scrounging up used firewalls since new ones weren’t available.
A backup disk hadn’t been working for months. However, we were at least able to restore the older data. The business had an outdated Exchange server, which we promptly migrated to Microsoft 365.
Organizations can avoid these costly breaches with managed IT services. But if the worst has already happened, we can help you get secured and back in business as soon as possible.
