Prepare Yourself For A Cyberattack

By Brody Danielson February 24, 2022

Prepare Yourself For A Cyberattack

We all know the damage a cyberattack can cause. Last year we witnessed first-hand supply chain shortages when both the JBS beef plant and the Colonial Pipeline experienced the ransomware cyberattack. Being prepared to minimize your risk is more critical now than ever. According to a Newsweek article, an FBI report cautions the U.S. private sector to be ready for potential cyberattacks by Russia as tensions over Ukraine loom on the horizon. The U.S. private sector includes all for-profit businesses that aren't owned or operated by the U.S. government. This means power grids, communication lines, financial institutions, and more could be compromised very soon. 

It is crucial to have a preparation plan in place if this happens. Not having access to power, your phone, the internet, or even your own money would be detrimental to our everyday lives. If you don't have power, that means you no longer have access to your refrigerator, and your food will quickly go bad. ReadyWise is here to help you take the necessary steps to avoid a panic situation.

Having a generator is an important part of your backup plan, but having a secure food source is just as important, if not more so. The security of having long-term food storage in your home is your best insurance policy. A one-month supply like this will give you over 2,000 calories a day for a whole month. This bundle has various options for breakfasts, entrees, and desserts so that you can fuel your body. ReadyWise is the most reliable Emergency Food Supply because you can still cook the food without a hot water source in an emergency.

Keeping your software and operating systems up to date is a great way to prepare and protect yourself against a cyberattack. This maintains your security and privacy on your devices that store your private information. Using strong passwords with two-factor authentication and changing them regularly is another way to ensure that your information stays secure.

Make sure to keep your anti-virus software updated and watch out for suspicious activity. If there is a link in an email that you aren't sure about, don't click on it. Clicking unknown links from unknown senders can install malware on your devices and make you an easy target to get hacked. Using malware and firewalls to block these threats will help immensely.

You should look for charges and strange accounts on your credit report during a cyberattack. Contact all financial institutions immediately and change your passwords to every online account if you see suspicious activity. After the attack, if you think that someone is using your Social Security Number, you should file a report with the Office of the Inspector General at www.idtheft.gov. Filing a complaint with the FBI will allow them to review the case and refer you to an agency.
