    Unsure if the person you’re interacting with may be a fake? This Chrome extension can detect fake profile pictures with 99.29% accuracy

    As we discussed last week, financial scams may be on the rise in 2022. Social engineering is a pretty common tactic utilized by scammers when it comes to siphoning funds from unwitting victims, but there are some tools you can use to combat it.

    Recently a company called V7 Labs has released an extension for Chrome that’s able to detect artificially generated profile pictures, such as those created by Thispersondoesnotexist.com (see below for an example).Examples of "ThisPersonDoesNotExist"

    The Fake Profile Detector extension can help you detect if a social media profile picture is a fake just by right clicking on it, it’s able to zero in on things you may miss at first glance – such as a pupil that’s not in the right place or clothing that appears to be bleeding into the skin. The extension does not work with video (yet). Also, just to note you should always verify an extension is from a trusted source before downloading it to your browser.

    Social engineering scams aren’t limited to just financial scams, they’re also utilized to gain information or to spread misinformation. As AI tools have grown more sophisticated it’s not easy to rely on someone’s profile picture to give you a good indication of who you’re talking to online.

    It’s also very easy to create fake profiles using real pictures, even pictures of people you may actually know. It’s typical for the scammer to start the conversation off with they got “locked out” of their main account and would like you to add their new one. You should also confirm with your friends and family before accepting a request from a new account.

    Or maybe it was their actual social media account, but a scammer was able to gain access. Sometimes scammers may even leave the password alone. The victim then may not know they have an intrusion, and the scammer just monitors and deletes messages of the conversations they’re having without the victim’s knowledge.

    We have created this chart of the top five things you should watch out for when it comes to social engineering scams.

    Social engineering is not limited to just social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. The most common type of social engineering are phishing attacks, and scammers setting their sites on businesses to take advantage of may have an easier time of convincing a user they are who they say they are when it comes to the more casual relationships we tend to have with colleagues.

    We wrote a blog explaining what to look out for when it comes to phishing emails, but at Valley Techlogic we also think this issue can be tackled from a software and training perspective.

    The tools we utilized will make sure that much of that suspicious spam never makes it to your end user, and the training we offer to our clients can help them make sure that if an employee does get a spoofed phishing email – they know exactly what to do about it.

  • As we feared, Ukraine-Russia crisis leads to a surge in cyber attacks

    As we feared, Ukraine-Russia crisis leads to a surge in cyber attacks

    As we’re nearing a month into the conflict between Russia and the Ukraine, cyber warfare between the two countries is reaching an all time peak. We covered the topic of Ukraine’s “IT Army” recently in this blog, and we mentioned growing concerns we’ve seen from users that there may be a spill over effect when it comes to cyber threats.

    Cyberwarfare was inevitable as conflicts on the ground continue on, and as Russian hackers feel the “pinch” of the effects of sanctions imposed against Russia, we may see an uptick in financial scams. Especially as both countries have turned to cryptocurrency which can often be used as a safe haven for financial transactions taking place outside the public eye. In the case of Russia it’s being used to try and liquidate funds out of the country and in the case of the Ukraine they’re using crypto to bolster support for their economy.

    We have created this chart for the types of financial scams we think may increase in the coming days (though it should be noted, financial scams were already up 70% in 2021).

    Cyber Financial Scams Chart

    However, hackers have also represented a beacon in the war of information currently happening between Russia and the Ukraine. Ukraine’s “IT Army” is now over 400,000 people strong, with hackers from all over the world lending their support digitally in Ukraine’s effort to protect their democracy.

    DDoS attacks on government sites with Russian origins as well as document leaks – which includes a 360k file data dump from a Russian federal agency – are continuing to happen regularly. It’s estimate that over 90% of exposed Russian cloud databases have been compromised at this point.

    Also, with access being restricted to sites like Twitter and other social media platforms being restricted in Russia, Squad303 is a website that was created by a group of Polish programmers that can help foreigners relay information to Russian citizens. The website founders say that over 7 million text messages and 2 million emails have been sent through the site so far.

    We again want to say we don’t know what the outcome of this conflict will be, but it seems clear that consumers and businesses should be wary of the ripple effects that will occur throughout the cyber sector, possibly for years to come.

    Business owners who still believe they’re “too small” to be a target should be wary that proceeding with out cybersecurity protections may make them the low hanging fruit for hackers reacting to a state of desperation. Cybersecurity protections are a worthwhile investment in your future and the peace of mind in questionable times is priceless.

    At Valley Techlogic, we’re experts in the field of cybersecurity. We can perform an evaluation of your business and tell you where you are now and where you need to be to not worry that your business is “ripe for picking”. Schedule a consultation today to learn more.

  • How the war in the Ukraine is being fought on the digital front

    How the war in the Ukraine is being fought on the digital front

    We’ve all been exposed to the ongoing crisis occurring in the Ukraine as Russian forces have made their way into the country and are heavily attacking major Ukrainian cities as they attempt to gain control of the capital city of Kyiv, causing nearly a million Ukrainian citizens to seek shelter in neighboring countries as of the time of writing.

    The Ukrainian forces have been inspiring the world as they defend their country from this unprovoked invasion, and that defense is also occurring on the cyber front. We’ve reporting ourselves from time to time on Russian hacking gangs and their effects on the US. The Ukraine is not only defending their digital infrastructure during this war, but they are also responding offensively with what’s being dubbed the “IT Army”.

    These volunteers to the Ukrainian government are conducting attacks on Russian led websites – some of which are currently serving propaganda on what’s really happening in the Ukraine to Russian citizens – and bringing those websites down. These also include sites belonging directly to the Kremlin and the Russian Ministry of Defense and more.

    DDoS attacks are also occurring on Russian targets, being conducted by the hacker group Anonymous. They’ve made claims they’ve succeeded in taking down 1,500 Russian led websites and dumping more than 40,000 private Russian files on the Dark Web, including ones that came from the countries Nuclear Safety Institute.

    SpaceX has also jumped into the fray, responding to pleas from the Ukrainian government to add Starlink as an option to keep necessary internet services online in case of a Russian disruption to the service. SpaceX quickly delivered 48 Starlink satellites with more on the way.

    Also, in a move that’s literally slowing things down inside of Russia, it was discovered that a Russian led company had outsourced the main component of their EV charge stationed on along a major motorway between Moscow and St. Petersburg. The Ukrainian company that built the components used a backdoor to hack the machines, shutting them down and displaying anti-Putin messaging on the screen.

    The Ukraine’s IT Army is also requesting assistance through the use of a Telegram channel belonging to the group, which as of time of writing has over 275,000 users. The IT Army is providing live updates on successful attacks on Russian led targets as well as attempting to communicate with Russian citizens as Russia leads a disinformation campaign has tried to unsuccessfully stifle public outage on this war.

    It’s unclear what the outcome to the ongoing conflict will be at this moment, but this is an unprecedented moment in time marking the first time a war has a significant public digital elements involved.  We’re all aware at this point of Russia’s hacking capabilities, but it will be interesting to see if their abilities are strictly offensive as they’re now on the receiving end of the attacks.

    We’ve created this timeline of notable Russian hacking gang linked cyber attacks that have occurred against the US and other countries in the last 15 years.

    We want to make a note that there has been some concern that this ongoing war between Russia and the Ukraine may lead to more cyber attacks on the US as the Russian economy has been significantly destabilized by sanctions enacted against Russia as a response to their attack on the Ukraine.

    We’re uncertain if this will end up being the case, but if you’re having cybersecurity concerns for your business or just need some peace of mind, we would be more than happy to provide a consultation. You can schedule one here.

  • 5 Ways You Can Prepare Your Technology (and Your Employees) to Return to the Office

    5 Ways You Can Prepare Your Technology (and Your Employees) to Return to the Office

    Whether your employees are still mostly remote, or you’ve moved into a hybrid setup, many employers are looking to return to business as usual as COVID numbers drop and speculation increases that we’re moving into the endemic phase of this illness.

    We covered this topic much earlier in the pandemic, and we still agree with the advice we gave for prepping employee devices before bringing them back into the company network. We’re all aware of the waffling opinion about whether offices are really necessary or remote work is the wave of the future.

    For some businesses the collaboration that occurs in person just couldn’t be replicated remotely, while others found that their employees were even more productive when not subjected to the hustle and bustle of office life. These choices are best made on an individual company and even individual employee basis.

    We do think it’s a good idea to offer some more sound technology advice for returning to the office, even if you’re only considering the idea for now.

    1. Check on your office network: If your office has been mostly unused the past couple of years, or only lightly used, it may be a good idea to make sure your network can still support your whole workforce. Employees coming in the first day and being unable to get online would be a poor way to kick things off.
    2. Think about your existing technology structure as well: Has a server become unreliable in the time you’ve been away, or your current backup solution handles small uploads fine, but your entire staff would overload it? It’s a good idea to perform these upgrades before welcoming employees back.
    3. Don’t switch the current workflow all at once: If there are systems in place that have been working throughout your time spent remote, don’t immediately switch back to “how things used to be”. It’s a good idea to evaluate whether the new systems and processes are perhaps better than the old ones too.
    4. Also be sure to check incoming devices before allowing them on the company network: As we said in our previous article, devices that have been allowed outside of the office should be checked prior to coming back and logging into sensitive work systems. Hackers know how to bide their time so just because a device hasn’t shown any signs of malware doesn’t mean there is no malware.
    5. Finally, now is the best time to bring in new assistance: An event such as returning to the office, or moving offices marks a great time to bring in technical assistance. A technical provider can help you get past where you are to where you want to be.

    Is your office planning to stay hybrid or continue remote? Even if you’re not returning back to the office – now or ever – we’ve created this template of online safety tips your employees should keep in mind. Whether it’s with a company device if you allow it to be used personally during off hours or just for keeping their home network safe (because malware can spread).

  • CMMC Series: The Consequences for CMMC Non-Compliance

    CMMC Series: The Consequences for CMMC Non-Compliance

    You may have thought we finished our series on the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, but we would be remiss if we didn’t cover the consequences and penalties for not complying with the program if you’re a current Department of Defense (DoD) contractor.

    You may be thinking there’s a window to wait and see while rulings proceed on version 2.0 or have seen dates such as 2025 thrown out as the goal post for when the program will be completely finalized. Or maybe you’re just hoping the whole thing goes away, we get it. Looking at all of the controls and tiers can be overwhelming if your business is new to implementing cybersecurity measures.

    However, the program is here to stay, and your business will be much better equipped to meet the requirements if you begin working on them now. There is a waiting list already for those wishing to obtain their certification earlier, and we expect the wait times to only grow as nearly 40,000 businesses who must comply with this program rush to get their certification before losing eligibility for existing contracts.

    Beyond existing contracts, having your CMMC certification will make your business more competitive when seeking new contracts with the DoD. Progress towards CMMC is an investment in your business’s future, and it also meet the goals of the program which is protecting businesses from cyber threats.

    So, what are the consequences for not working on CMMC compliance now, or in the future?

    The DoD has said that all Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors must be compliant by 2025. There are no direct monetary penalties or fines for not being compliant at this time, however your business will no longer be eligible for defense contracts if you have not successfully completed your accreditation by that date.

    Three years may seem like a long time but when you look at the scope of what’s necessary to be compliant with CMMC, it’s really a short window to get your ducks in a row. Tier one could be accomplished relatively easily by most businesses, but if your business handles any Confidential Unclassified Information, you’re really looking at a goal of tier three moving forward (or tier two if/when version 2.0 is released).

    That’s also not counting the time spent in a waiting list for a member of the CMMC Accreditation Body to actually complete your assessment, you will need to work on your self-assessment status and POAM (Plan of Action and Milestones) prior to getting on the waiting list for CMMC accreditation.

    It’s also important to note that your self-assessment must be confirmed by company leadership, it’s not enough to simply have your IT person or team complete the self-assessment and submit it.

    The DoD has said they will randomly test contractor compliance and see if it matches what the contractor has inputted into Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). SPRS is a necessary requirement for being compliant with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) which many contractors may already be aware of. They will be looking to see if your disclosures for DFARS in regards to CMMC/NIST match.

    Submitting false information could make your business at risk for running afoul of the False Claims Act (FCA), which could leave you liable for civil fines and penalties. There is even a program in place to reward whistleblowers who bring to light businesses who are falsifying information about their cybersecurity practices on these forms.

    This is all so much to say as there are significant risks involved with ignoring CMMC and we suggest you begin working on it now or we’re afraid you’ll be paying for it later.

    If you need assistance with working on your CMMC accreditation, cybersecurity practices and compliance, DFARS forms or more – Valley Techlogic can assist you. Schedule a consultation today to learn how we can help your business meet your CMMC compliance goals for 2022.

  • If you enabled 2-factor authentication on your Google account recently, your odds of being hacked dropped by half

    If you enabled 2-factor authentication on your Google account recently, your odds of being hacked dropped by half

    Google began requiring 2-factor authentication on some user accounts this past year, and while there’s always some inconvenience involved in making that switch the benefits definitely outweigh it.

    Google enrolled 150 million members in the last three months of 2021 in their 2-factor authentication program, and they’ve found that instances of accounts being hacked dropped by half for those users.

    Google utilizes two-step verification, or 2SV which involves having a login challenge beyond a simple password entry. This may be a message in Google’s own authenticator application or a hardware security key depending on user preference.

    Google said in their blog post on the topic, “This decrease speaks volumes to how effective having a second form of verification can be in protecting your data and personal information, turn on 2SV (or we will!), as it makes all the difference in the event your password is compromised.” Indicating Google’s plan to initiate the requirement across the board in the near future.

    The hesitancy with users to utilize such an effective security measure seems to stem from inconsistent implementation as well as a general lack of education on the topic. We thought it would be helpful to present this “cheat sheet” on multi-factor authentication and other cybersecurity acronyms.

    Cybersecurity Acronym Cheat SheetWith breaches being ever more common, having that additional step past just a password before a hacker can access your account can make all the difference. A password you use across multiple website (which is also a bad idea) may be leaked without you even being aware of it, and the prompt from a multi-factor authentication application may even be your first clue that your accounts are being accessed by someone other than yourself.

    Google’s own authenticator is found on the Play Store and the Apple App Store and is a solid option, however we suggest users use whatever they feel most comfortable with or whatever is offered by the the websites they frequent (especially for important sites like banking or for work related web portals).

    To add to your security effectiveness, we suggest using a password manager as well so you can work on having more varied passwords – especially for sites that don’t currently offer multi-factor authentication as an option.

    If you’d like tangible security, hardware security keys are a good option and many of them have widespread support for your online accounts such as email, social media, or even your password manager (adding another layer).

    Your devices also probably come with multi-factor security options built in, we’ve been pleased with the implementation of Windows Hello for Windows devices (even when we’re bleary eyed in the early morning, it always seems to recognize us). Fingerprint scanners for mobile devices have also come a long way and is a pretty convenient (and secure) way to keep access to your phone limited to just you.

    If you’re a business owner in the Central Valley and want to embark on the process of enabling multi-factor authentication within your business, Valley Techlogic can help. Our security experts can help you with enabling multi-factor authentication within your business as well help you meet your cybersecurity compliance goals. Reach out to us today to learn more.

  • CMMC Series: Preparing for your assessment

    CMMC Series: Preparing for your assessment

    This is our fifth article on this topic and as we bring it to a close, I’d like to first look back at what we’ve covered so far.

    We started the series looking at what’s ahead for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program in 2022. Then we covered tiers one, two and three as they exist in the current 1.0 model of the program. We’re anticipating that tiers two and three will be merged going forward as version 2.0 rolls out (placing a larger burden on defense contractors looking to scale past the beginner controls in tier one and become more competitive in the marketplace).

    So, if you’re reading this you’ve hopefully begun the process of implementing the controls within your business and are thinking it’s time to begin the process of obtaining your certification. There are several steps that come before actually obtaining your certification (although it should be noted that the CMMC Accreditation Body is currently in the process of hiring and waiting lists for certification could be lengthy at this time). The sooner you begin implementing the CMMC controls within your business, the sooner you can attempt to get on the waiting list to receive your certification.

    The assessment process will follow these steps:

    1. You will need to begin implementing a plan for CMMC within your business, and conduct a self-assessment against the NIST 800-171 (or partner with a provider like Valley Techlogic to assist you with this).
    2. As you improve your processes you can submit your score to the Department of Defenses’ (DoD) Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS).
    3. From there you will need to identify the scope you wish to obtain for your business (it’s our opinion maturity level 3 will be required for most defense contractors in the future).
    4. Obtain a third-party gap assessment, this will show you where your business is and where it needs to be to achieve your goals.
    5. After addressing the gaps found in the assessment, you can look to the CMMC Accreditation Marketplace and choose a CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO) to conduct your CMMC assessment.
    6. The CMMC Accreditation Body will review the assessment submitted by your C3PAO and award you your CMMC certification.

    Of course, this is boiling down many months (or even years) of preparation into what looks like 6 easy steps.  The process will be time consuming and potentially costly, but for those who wish to continue doing business with the DoD it’s a necessary investment in the future.

    As we’ve mentioned in past articles on the topic, defense contractors who refuse to comply with the CMMC process will no longer be eligible for defense contracts in the future. Beyond that, if you reach a higher level of certification, you will be in a better position to receive more contracts as it will be used as a comparative tool going forward.

    If you’re like assistance with the CMMC self-assessment process or preparing for your CMMC AB assessment, Valley Techlogic has experience in this area. We have helped businesses begin the process of becoming CMMC ready, if you’d like to learn more schedule a consultation with our experts today.

  • Cyber Insurance – What you can do to ensure your business will be covered in 2022

    Cyber Insurance – What you can do to ensure your business will be covered in 2022

    Last month we released our new cyber insurance report which is an in depth look into this topic, but we wanted to touch on what we’re specifically seeing so far in 2022 in today’s article because from what we’re seeing in from our clients and in the industry – cyber insurance requirements are on the rise.

    If you’re new to cyber insurance or aren’t sure what’s covered under this sort of policy, for most insurance providers cyber insurance offers coverage for technology related disasters. This could include a cybersecurity event such as ransomware or a data breach but depending on your level of policy it might also include IT related downtime not related to cybersecurity such as internet outages. You may even see coverage for specific device issues, such as the loss of an office server that’s critical for day-to-day operations.

    When it comes to the cybersecurity related coverage what many people don’t realize is it’s not only meant for covering your own losses, but also the potential loss incurred by your customers. If you have a data breach, your cyber insurance coverage will cover the cost of any litigation brought by your customers and it may also cover items such as on-going credit monitoring if their PII (personal identifying information) was exposed in the data breach your company suffered.

    It can be easy to feel detached from a loss you haven’t suffered yet. To put some perspective to, it during the Anthem data breach in 2015 when involved 80 million patient records, their costs to notify their customers (which HIPAA regulations stipulate must be done by snail mail) exceeded $40 million in just postage. That’s not even taking into consideration all of the other costs associated with that breach.

    They’re a major corporation, so again it may be difficult to imagine yourself in those shoes, but even for small companies the average costs are as high as $200,000 per breach. Also, if you’re hit with a ransom and think you can just pay it and get out intact, think again. Many times, even if you receive the de-encryption key from the hackers your data may still be lost.

    It’s not surprising that insurance providers are looking at this and wondering how they can alleviate some of the risk they’re taking providing insurance to customers going forward. The requirements are increasing, even for us as a technology provider for businesses we’re seeing longer forms that we’re assisting our customers with when they go to acquire a new cyber insurance policy.

    These longer forms are featuring more difficult questions as well. We have made cybersecurity a staple feature of our plans so our customers are in a good place for obtaining a cyber insurance policy, but the truth is if cybersecurity has been on the back burner for your business, you may have a difficult time in 2022 and beyond finding an insurer that’s willing to cover you.

    As an idea of where to start before you go to obtain a cyber insurance policy, we’ve created this checklist of items you can begin to work on to put your business in a better position this year.

    Many of the items listed are easy for even someone who’s not very tech savvy to tackle, but if you’d really like to protect your business from hackers this year, we suggest teaming up with a tech provider like Valley Techlogic.

    Cybersecurity is a core focus for our business, we will match your business with a cybersecurity framework that makes sense – for example CMMC for defense contractors, HIPAA for healthcare providers, NIST or CIS for small and medium sizes businesses of any industry – and use that framework to have a concrete game plan for making sure your networks and devices are impenetrable to bad actors.
