About this e-book

Cybersecurity Risks

Phishing as a service (PaaS)

This service creates fake websites that facilitate the theft of sensitive information from victims, such as credentials or credit card numbers. PaaS is popular because criminals aren’t required to be experienced programmers.

Malware as a service (MaaS) 

Attackers pay to learn which malware is most successful malware and the best loopholes for programs to work. They can use botnets to carry out targeted attacks on any victim without having to understand programming.

 

Ransomware as a service (RaaS)

This extremely successful business model rents ransomware and its control infrastructure to cybercriminals. RaaS programs can include ransomware customization tools, private forums to exchange information, and compiled ransomware or its source code. 

By the numbers

  • In 2021 and 2022, ransomware was the top attack type.
  • The frequency of data breaches caused by ransomware increased from 7.8% in 2021 to 11% in 2022.
  • The United States is the #1 target country for ransomware attacks with 39.1% of global attacks.
  • The average cost of a ransomware attack (without the ransom cost) was $4.54 million, which is slightly higher than the average total cost of a data breach ($4.35 million).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why must businesses be aware of cybersecurity threats?

Cyber criminals have become more and more savvy.

Ecommerce businesses need to be wary and educated about the types of threats because you may not see a cybercriminal coming. Today’s criminals have created a series of schemes to try and outwit consumers and business owners. And the reality is that ecommerce businesses bear the brunt of the impact.

From the viewpoint of someone who has been the victim of credit card fraud

"We are in the Durable Medical Equipment supply industry and we use Shopify as our shopping cart. With Covid 19 we have seen a tremendous increase web traffic and online purchases. Prior to Covid 19 we had a number of fraudulent transactions that led to multiple investigations on Local, State and Federal levels all of which produced no returns only because the crooks were faster. This cost us in..."
