NOCout Report 16: Privacy Lawsuits

Adding insult to injury
For the small business that manages to survive a breach, attacks often lead to a long, complicated recovery—regardless of the where it came from. Even once they are done cleaning up the initial mess, several complicated (and expensive) long-term effects of the attack endure: loss of reserves and revenue due to downtime and cleanup costs, loss of reputation in the marketplace, and costly implementation of improved security protocols, services, and resources.
However, one particularly prolonged and painful outcome of a data breach is often overlooked—a lawsuit.
Just a quick refresher— what is email phishing? Phishing is a type of cyberattack where attackers try to trick you into giving away sensitive information—like passwords, credit card numbers, or even access to your business’s network— by pretending to be someone you trust . These emails often look like they’re from legitimate companies, like your bank, a well-known retailer, or even someone within your own organization. The goal? To get you to click on a malicious link or download an attachment that can compromise your system. Sometimes, the emails are obvious fakes, but other times, they can be extremely convincing, making it crucial to stay vigilant.
Looking for weak points could save your business.
