- Oh God! What should we do?

— The fraud scheme is so simple that potential victims contacted the scammers themselves. As it turned out, any user can claim to be the owner of a particular enterprise, including banking organizations, and change the contact phone number provided in Google Maps to their own. And since the service does not pay enough attention to monitoring the accuracy of information, almost anyone has the opportunity to edit the information.


— In fact, it’s not all that scary. This scheme of forging phone numbers is designed for the least informed users who search for their bank’s contact information in a search engine. However, it’s worth considering that today there are many more such users than those who contact the bank’s support service via chat in the app or immediately go to the official website in search of a phone number or email address.

How effective cybersecurity practices can accelerate business innovation rather than hinder it.

Last year was one of the worst years for cybersecurity, with the number of reported incidents, such as the WannaCry and NotPetya malware attacks and the Equifax and Uber data leaks, doubling compared to 2016. The overall picture in 2018 is not as dire, but recent incidents involving leaks from social networks Facebook and VKontakte, Sberbank and British kenya whatsapp data suggest that attackers are still head and shoulders above companies.

The truth is that cybercriminals are using increasingly advanced tools to run their businesses, while legitimate companies think about security last. For example, according to Carbon Black experts, cybercriminals spend 10 times more on finding vulnerabilities than companies spend on their security. Innovative hacking tools allow them to create large-scale and multi-vector attacks to generate serious income.

These attacks extend across local networks, mobile, and cloud infrastructure, and easily penetrate traditional detection-only defenses. However, Check Point's 2018 Security Report found that only 3% of organizations are using solutions with next-generation threat prevention capabilities. The vast majority of organizations are simply unable to withstand Gen V attacks.

Frightening changes
phone number of your bank's support service or their website. And do not search for it through different search engines. In short, you need to be smarter and more attentive. And do not panic.

And now let's go and have some tea with honey. Linden honey! And don't worry!
