Business Cyberattack Case Studies
In today’s increasingly digital business environment, cyberattacks and crimes are on the rise. Many small-to-medium-sized enterprises and large organizations have faced various degrees of risk, ultimately leading to a catastrophic domino effect.
Case 1: Customer Data Theft at an Online Retailer
Total Handling Expenses: Up to HK$100K
A retail store selling most of its products through an online marketplace suffered from weak password management and VPN security, which led to the theft of personal data of over 1,000 customers- and the breach further escalated into a phishing scam. The incident triggered police investigations, regulatory scrutiny, and civil lawsuits, resulting in substantial forensic and legal expenses.
Our CyberZafe utilizes various strategies employed by cybercriminals today to offer businesses phishing simulations and awareness training. This boosts the company’s internal vigilance against email threats, tackling human errors from their roots. Our email protection solution establishes a primary line of defense, preventing phishing attacks, and halting the spread of malware, malicious links, and ransomware, thus alleviating businesses’ concerns over these risks.
Case 2: Energy Company Privacy Breach
A senior executive at an energy company had their laptop stolen, containing extensive personal data of customers and employees. Despite encrypted files, the overall password protection was inadequate, and the PIN for accessing encrypted data was compromised. The company spent US$50,000 on forensic experts and external compliance consultants to assess the theft of data from the laptop. They proactively notified affected customers and employees and offered call center, monitoring, and recovery services. Besides the direct costs of US$100,000, the energy company faced an additional US$75,000 in multi-state regulatory investigations and was fined US$100,000 for violating its publicly stated privacy policies.
Our CyberZafe is committed to protecting sensitive data and maintaining secure network conditions, actively enhancing data protection measures, and reducing potential risks associated with data breaches and unauthorized access. It also provides professional privacy data handling guidelines, customized advice for dealing with incidents and sharing third-party data, effectively avoiding the US$275,000 spent in response to data theft incidents.
Case 3: Famous Vodka Brand Files for Bankruptcy Due to Ransomware Attack
A well-known vodka manufacturer’s U.S. arm faced severe disruption of its IT systems due to a data breach and a ransomware attack. This crippled the company’s IT infrastructure and also exacerbated the financial and legal crises of the group, leading to their filing for bankruptcy protection.
With the ERP system disabled across the group, most internal processes had to be manually handled, severely affecting critical business workflows like accounting. It was expected to take up to six months to fully return to normal operations, and the failure to submit financial reports to lenders on time directly led to claims of default by lenders, involving debts of up to US$78 million.
Ransomware attacks are often stealthy, leading to business interruptions and paralysis, eventually financial crises and bankruptcy. CyberZafe offers comprehensive and efficient network security plans, including managed firewalls which provide the first line of defense and can identify and mitigate potential threats and vulnerabilities early on; its endpoint security solutions may quickly respond to detected threats and block them, isolating businesses from ransomware attacks and ensuring their invulnerability.
