The webinar is designed to create awareness that small to midsized firms are as vulnerable to hackers as the well publicized recent attacks on Equifax and Target Stores that stole personal information on millions of their customers. “Everyone is vulnerable and it just takes an inopportune keyboard click for you to be hit with a virus or have your computer network data stolen,” says Paul Little, president of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce. “We want to help our members be cautious, careful and protected.” The webinar will focus on the how to defend against the current attacks by so-called Bad Rabbit Ransomware. “Bad Rabbit sneaks in attached to an upgrade of the popular Adobe Systems program and can paralyze or freeze an entire company’s computer network whereupon a ‘ransom’ is demanded,” explains Michael Macho, president of ResultWorx Technology Solutions and division president of BIS Computer Solutions, Inc., La Crescenta, CA.. “Cyber criminals posing as IT vendor companies are embedding ransomware in official looking emails asking users to download an upgrade,” warns Macho who will also be conducting the webinar. Business owners, he says, are starting to realize they can “protect their data from attacks cost efficiently—for as little as $30 a month. We’ll explain both the problems and the solutions in detail and in simple English.” To attend the webinar right at your desk at no cost, email michaelm@biscomputer.comor register at resultworx.com/ registration.
