Last week, Microsoft Windows experienced a global IT outage, a result of a faulty update deployed by CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity technology company. While the outage was not the result of a cyber-attack, cyber criminals have already started to take advantage of the outage.<\/p>\n
Cyber threats continue to rise and show no signs of slowing down. It\u2019s critical to help protect your insureds from cyber risks and to act now before cyber criminals use the next global IT issue or IT attack to gain access to business\u2019s sensitive data.<\/p>\n
To help Bolder \u00a0insureds safeguard their personal and business information, we will email them the following Dos and Don\u2019ts best practices to help them maintain their cyber security. We appreciate your partnership and are available to help you and your clients navigate today\u2019s dynamic cyber risk environment.<\/em><\/p>\nDO NOT<\/b> click on links or download attachments from emails you don\u2019t 100% trust. Criminals will create websites and email addresses that look legitimate, so if there is even the slightest doubt about the legitimacy of an email, do not click on ANYTHING <\/b>in the email.<\/p>\n
DO NOT<\/b> provide passwords or log-in credentials via email. No reputable company will ever ask you to do this.<\/p>\n
DO NOT<\/b> accept the help of an unknown company or person offering to fix your issues. Reputable companies will not engage in unsolicited outreach on the back of high-profile cyber events.<\/p>\n
DO NOT<\/b> enter your credentials into a third-party site purporting to help you address your outage.<\/p>\n
DO NOT<\/b> allow anyone to remote into your computer if you are not 100% sure of who they are and your company\u2019s relationship with them.<\/p>\n
DO<\/b> stay vigilant; double check that emails and phone calls are coming from known contacts and verify that the other party is who they say they are.<\/p>\n
DO<\/b> verify the email address on inbound emails.<\/p>\n
DO<\/b> look carefully for misspellings\/similar spellings in emails, texts, and on websites.<\/p>\n
DO<\/b> verify an email, phone call, or text by contacting the company directly. If this is a company you\u2019ve worked with before, refer to previous, legitimate communications and paperwork.<\/p>\n
DO<\/b> hover over links to check URLs without clicking; look for discrepancies. Scrutinize web addresses and emails\/texts for misspellings and illegitimate domain names.<\/p>\n
