In the annals of contemporary commerce, the specter of cyber intrusion casts a long and ominous shadow. As the digital age marches forward, so does the peril it brings, as evidenced by the grim tidings of 2023. It was a year that saw the global average toll of a data breach swell to a staggering $4.45 million, a disconcerting escalation from years prior.

Echoes of this modern menace reverberate through the corridors of corporate power, where a note, ominous in its simplicity, landed upon the doorstep of a venerable bank. “Don’t be a victim,” it intoned, bearing the unmistakable mark of hackers. One could almost hear the sinister undertones lurking beneath its terse message, posing a chilling question to those it targeted: Would your employer yield to the demands or face the ignominy of cyber subjugation?

Indeed, the stakes are dire, with the 15% surge from the preceding year a stark reminder of the growing menace. Is your company’s firewall fortified and vigilant against such digital marauders? If not, take heed and act swiftly, for the consequences of complacency are dire.

Chinese state-sponsored hackers have infiltrated many outdated home and office wifi routers in the U.S. in preparation for attacks on electrical grids and water supplies.
A U.S. government investigation found that hundreds of old routers had been infected with malware by a Beijing-backed hacking group known as “Volt Typhoon.” It’s time for many companies to upgrade their devices.
On Wednesday, the FBI said it had deleted the malware that was distributed on the routers of unknowing Americans to gain a foothold in the country’s critical national infrastructure.
The U.K.’s National Cyber Security Centre had previously warned that hackers backed by the Chinese state were trying to infiltrate Britain’s critical infrastructure and hiding in computers to “evade detection.”

The Five Eyes intelligence network of the U.K., US, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia issued a joint statement last May asking infrastructure providers to be vigilant to Chinese threats. The warning came after Volt Typhoon hacked into a U.S. military outpost in the Pacific Ocean.
Ken McCallum, the director of MI5, said in October that there had been a “sharp rise” in Chinese attempts to steal state secrets in the U.K., warning a conference of Western security chiefs:
“We all need to be aware and respond before it’s too late.” And Christopher Wray, the FBI’s director, warned Congress on January 31, 2024, that the Chinese government CCP was increasingly targeting civilians.

Your company hire’s the lowest cost people or worse oversea’s contractors and then your network is hacked. Only 1 in 10 hacks are ever reported and the avg. cost 3.8 million. It sure is a pain for the consumer. Network security is not a game! Under the new European rule you have a 72-hour deadline to report the breach. Is your IT staff the best?
