Luzerne County Still Recovering from Cyber Attack

Cyber Attack Luzerne County

The Luzerne County government recently was the victim of a Cyber Attack. As described by county workers, the Cyber Attack affected their collective ability to work. This Cyber Attack has impacted their ability to perform important functions. 

Jim reviews some of the details and how businesses and organizations should be taking Cyber Attacks to be seriously. Small businesses, and even county governments. Most companies could not survive weeks without access to the information that they used to run their business.

Dealing with Cyber Attacks

Jim went on to provide suggestions and recommendations from training and simple questioning of one action. Like should I open this email and its attachment? Is it safe? Contacting those who send you information, ensuring that they actually did send that email? Why is using UTM’s Unified Threat Management devices or Firewalls a necessity today in business? How layering security with Anti-Malware, Anti-Virus software, and even email scanning can help provide multiple checks on the data touching your network and computers that have access to them.
