Phishing Attacks

Phishing is a method where attackers impersonate legitimate entities to trick users into providing sensitive information, like login credentials or financial details. Small businesses are frequent targets because attackers assume employees might not be trained to recognize phishing.

Ransomware

Ransomware is malicious software that locks down files or systems, demanding a ransom to restore access. For small businesses, ransomware can result in significant financial losses and disrupt daily operations.

Password Practices

Using weak passwords or reusing passwords across multiple platforms leaves businesses vulnerable to attacks. Cybercriminals can easily guess or crack simple passwords, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Insider Threats

Insider threats come from employees or trusted individuals with access to business systems. These threats may be intentional or unintentional but can lead to data breaches or leaks of sensitive information.

Malware and Viruses

Malware and viruses are types of malicious software that infect systems to steal, corrupt, or manipulate data. They can enter business systems through unsafe downloads, email attachments, or infected websites.

Social Engineering

Social engineering attacks exploit human psychology to manipulate individuals into revealing confidential information. Attackers might impersonate trusted sources to gain access to secure systems or sensitive data. Small businesses are often targeted due to their limited security training and awareness.
