The news, blogs, maybe even a local business has talked about being hacked..
But what does that really mean?..
This is called a ransomware attack. If this was a real hacker, he would now demand a large ransom fee to give you back your data.
When small businesses are attacked by ransomware, it tends not to be reported in the news. But believe me when I tell you it definitely happens. Every. Single. Day.
Many hackers now gain access to IT systems weeks, or even months, before they launch their attacks. They use this time to quietly prepare, and slowly change settings to make it dramatically harder for us to a) detect them, and b) fix the damage they create when they launch their attack.
“Red Diamond has been a tremendous asset to our company, we are a Mechanical contractor and have struggled with IT issues for many years. It’s just not our thing. Thankfully a friend referred us to Red Diamond and they have taken over our IT needs completely, this has been one of the best decisions we have ever made. If you need honest reliable IT services look no further.”
