You deserve IT consistency with a LOCAL human face!

The risks associated with cyber attacks are vast and can include identity theft, financial loss, and damage to reputation. To combat these threats, cyber security experts employ a range of techniques such as firewalls, encryption, and intrusion detection systems. As technology continues to evolve and hackers become more sophisticated, the importance of cyber security cannot be overstated. It is vital to stay informed and proactive when it comes to protecting ourselves and our digital assets.

Phishing

Phishing is a deceptive online tactic used by cybercriminals to trick people into sharing their sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Phishing attacks typically involve the use of fake emails or websites that mimic legitimate ones to lure unsuspecting victims into clicking on links or entering personal information. These attacks can be sophisticated and convincing, making it difficult for even savvy internet users to recognize them. It’s important to be vigilant and cautious when receiving unsolicited emails or messages, and to always verify the authenticity of a website before entering any personal information. Falling victim to a phishing attack can result in identity theft, financial loss, and other serious consequences.

Malware

On the other hand, Malware is a broader term that covers all types of malicious software that can infect a computer system. It includes adware, spyware, ransomware, and other types of viruses. Malware is often used to steal user data such as passwords, credit card numbers, and personal information.

What about ransomware?

Ransomware attacks have become increasingly common in recent years, and victims are often left with little choice but to pay the ransom in order to regain access to their systems. It is crucial for individuals and organizations to take steps to protect themselves against ransomware by implementing strong cybersecurity measures, regular backups and employee education.
