Frequently Asked Questions About Cybersecurity Attacks And Defense

Cybersecurity is a complex issue. Here are some of the most frequent questions our lawyers hear:

How do I know if my business has been a victim of a cyberattack?

Here are a few indicators that your business may have been targeted by hackers or other bad actors:

  • Increased network traffic: Strange spikes in your network traffic or if it is difficult to connect devices to your Wi-Fi network.
  • Phishing emails: Many hackers will try to access computers by sending links or attachments through emails. These links and attachments sent from unknown senders often include malware intended to retrieve data from computers. If an employee opened a suspicious email, then there may already be a cybersecurity breach.
  • Pop-ups: Any strange advertisement from a seemingly legal site that pops up on a computer may link to suspicious data. If a computer appears to have an increased amount of pop-up ads, then a hacker may have already planted malware.
  • Unusual behavior: Slow performances, frequent system crashes or shutdowns and reports by employees that they are suddenly locked out or someone has tried to access their accounts without their permission.
  • Security warnings: Disabled firewalls, antivirus software and malware programs that have been turned off without proper authorization are major signs of trouble.
  • Unexplained activities: Any suspicious banking activities or reports of strange emails by your clients, employees or business partners should be a major red flag.

Sometimes, cybercriminals will be overt, demanding payment in exchange for restoring your company’s access to its data – but many attacks are insidious and hidden.

What damages can my business recover if we are the victims of a cybercrime?

Businesses are often able to recover damages after a cyberattack. These damages may cover lost revenue, stolen data, intellectual property theft and legal fees. You can talk to an experienced attorney to learn how to begin your case.

How often should I review and update my business’s cybersecurity protocols?

You should review your company’s cybersecurity protocols annually or whenever a major event occurs to shield private data from hackers.
