Most Common Types of Cyber Attacks
There are two common attack vectors that we encounter repeatedly, business email compromise (BEC) and ransomware.
In a business email compromise the threat actor intercepts email communication between company and vendor, or company and client, and interjects their banking information into the conversation, impersonating the requester of funds. The end result is the threat actor gets funds intended for someone else.
In a ransomware attack the threat actor encrypts the company’s data, often after exfiltrating the data for further use, and then demands payment to decrypt the data. It’s important to note that, even if paid, there is no guarantee that the decryption will be successful or that the threat actor will release the data.
Ransomware is more commonly in the media due to the very public impact a ransomware attack has on a company. However, BEC’s tend to have a larger overall impact on a businesses cybersecurity.
Blue Team Alpha can assist in both cases. In a business email compromise, we can help recover some, if not all, of the funds that were sent to the threat actor. In ransomware cases we make every effort to recover a company’s data and not pay the ransom. If, there is no other choice but to pay the ransom, our partners can handle the negotiation, communication, and payment to the threat actor.
As your business cybersecurity partner, Blue Team Alpha works to restore your network and information systems as quickly as possible. In some instances, it is a matter of days. Getting your company back on its feet and servicing your customers is our first priority.
