More Business Banking Victims Speak Out

What's happening: News continues to surface of businesses being hit by cybercriminals.

What it means: Cybercriminals are shooting fish in a barrel.

What to do: Management must get on top of this problem. Staff must be trained to recognize danger signs. Technology controls must be tightly managed. Check bank transactions daily. Consider a separate PC used only for on-line banking. Don't assume you're secure; our experience is that you are not. Check your cyber-insurance. Be prepared to sue your bank: Email our Guide An Emerging Information Security Minimum Standard of Due Care to your attorney.
