Small Business, Big Target

Many small business owners believe that hackers only go after large corporations. The truth? 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses because they often lack strong security measures.

In the Philippines, cybercrime is on the rise, and small businesses are prime targets. Without proper protection, your business could be next.

Real Case Study: A Local Café’s Cyber Nightmare

Business: A popular café in Manila with an online ordering system. Problem: The café’s system was hacked, and customer payment details were stolen.

How It Happened:

1. Phishing Attack: Hackers sent fake emails pretending to be from a trusted supplier. An employee unknowingly clicked on a malicious link and entered login credentials.
2. Malware Infection: Once inside the system, hackers installed malicious software that recorded keystrokes and stole customer credit card details.
3. Weak Passwords: The café used simple passwords that were easy to guess, giving hackers quick access.
4. No Real-Time Monitoring: The attack went undetected for days, allowing cybercriminals to steal more data.

The Consequences of the Attack

• Financial Loss: The café had to refund customers and pay for security fixes. 
• Reputation Damage: Customers lost trust in their online payment system, leading to a drop in sales. 
• Legal Issues: The business faced compliance violations for failing to protect customer data.

Cyberattacks can cripple a small business. But the good news? You can take steps to protect yourself.
