A clever new type of ransomware attack

It seems like we’re talking about cyber scams a lot at the moment. And now there’s another new trick you need to be aware of.

Cyber criminals are smart. They’re forever coming up with new ways to infiltrate your devices and networks to access your valuable data.

Fortunately, the defence weapons continue to get stronger and stronger to help keep you protected. Some email systems are now especially good at identifying malicious messages and threats.

But if your website has a contact form – and most do – you face a new threat. That’s because cyber criminals are using web forms to spread malware.

The average office worker sends and receives around 121 emails every day.

And while that sounds like a lot, you may be shocked to learn that 3 billion phishing emails are sent each day. They account for 1% of all email traffic.

What’s a phishing email? It’s an email sent by cyber criminals that pretends to be from a trusted source, such as your bank, Amazon or a delivery company.

But what does this mean for your business?
