Hackers Shift Attacks to Small Firms
Why hack me?
When we are doing post-breach cleanup for new clients, many of them ask us the question, “Our business is not that interesting, so why would anyone hack me?” They may be a restaurant chain who thinks the only items of value they have are recipes that aren’t very hard to reproduce, or they could be a nonprofit …
What is IPv6 and Why Should You Care?

Our first instinct is to lock the door, call the police, and hide. In the digital world, it can be more complicated because a business cannot be cut off from the rest of the Internet world, and every second of downtime means lost revenue and productivity. A common reaction many businesses have is to make several attempts to fix a problem before calling in a IT security expert. In business, it is not just about stopping the intruder, it is also critical to protect evidence of the intrusion in case of a lawsuit or an insurance claim.
At Wired Nation, our team has experience responding to credit card breach cases, disgruntled employee cases, and even cases where hackers have embedded malware on networks and remain undetected as they gather bank or password information to access company bank accounts. We have managed credit card fraud cases involving the FBI and the Secret Service. For businesses who accept credit cards, our team has worked with PCI auditors to help our clients demonstrate that they are taking steps towards PCI compliance. In the end, we seek peace of mind for our customers so they can focus on their business.
