Common Cyber Attacks
Data Breach
Many attacks on business networks are motivated by a desire to access and steal one of today’s most valuable commodities – information.
This involves theft of confidential business data, intellectual property, financial information, personal information belonging to your customers or clients and any data that can be used to acquire money or sold to the highest bidder.
Ransomware
The majority of cyber attacks occurring today are ransomware attacks. The attacker gains access to your IT network and then encrypts your entire network and backup, if possible.
A ransom is then demanded, to be paid in untraceable cryptocurrency. If you pay the ransom, the attacker provides you with a key to decrypt your data. These attacks shut down entire businesses and are incredibly costly. Many businesses fail altogether following a ransomware attack.
Email Fraud
Business email compromise is a form of fraud in which compromised email accounts are monitored by cyber criminals in an attempt to seize upon an opportunity to redirect funds coming in or going out.
There are many facets to this type of attack that makes it extremely effect. Construction companies, manufacturers, retail providers, lawyers and insurance companies are common victims.

Post-Incident investigations
Cyber attacks are prevalent now more than ever. You may be attacked more than once and you must always remain vigilant in managing the risk to your business. Additionally, your business may be under a legal obligation to report these incidents to the Government or your clients.
Since your legal obligations following a cyber attack depend on the unique facts of your situation, you need to find out what happened. Knowing all the facts following an attack will give you a crystal clear understanding of exactly what happened, allow you to get legal advice from a well qualified privacy lawyer and give you an opportunity to reevaluate your cyber security program to make any necessary changes to minimize future attacks.
Mandatory Reporting
Obligations
Canadian businesses are now under various Federal and Provincial obligations to report cyber attacks to the Government or their clients, depending on the nature of the attack and the information accessed by the hacker. Would you want to call your clients to report a data breach?
Most businesses would prefer to deal with the aftermath of a cyber attack internally rather than involving Government regulatory bodies or telling their clients that they failed to adequately safeguard important and private data. The damage to your reputation could be enormous.
Conducting a thorough post incident investigation allows you to determine the facts surrounding the cyber attack which allows you to learn your exact obligations to report the incident.
