Real-World Consequences of Inadequate Cyber Security
Case Study: Real Estate Cybersecurity Breach Recovery
In the real estate industry, cybersecurity often takes a backseat to day-to-day operations. However, the risks associated with cyber threats can have significant impacts on businesses, as experienced by one of Kaznetic's clients in the real estate sector.
This case study explores the cybersecurity incident faced by the client, the actions taken by Kaznetic to resolve the issue, and the outcomes of those actions.
Background
The client, a prominent real estate agency, fell victim to a sophisticated phishing attack. An employee received an email that appeared to be from a fellow staff member, asking them to click on a link to view a report. Trusting the source, the employee clicked the link, inadvertently downloading malicious software onto the network.
The Challenge
The malicious software executed without detection, encrypting critical files across the network, including documents, spreadsheets, and tenancy reports. The encryption rendered these files inaccessible, with the attackers demanding a ransom of $30,000 in Bitcoin for their decryption. This situation threatened not only the security of sensitive information but also the operational capabilities of the real estate agency, which could have resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue.
Kaznetic's Solution
Upon being engaged by the client (in a panic), Kaznetic took immediate action to mitigate the damage and recover the encrypted data:
- Isolation of Infected Systems: The first step involved isolating the affected machine from the network to prevent further spread of the malware.
- User Consultation: Kaznetic engaged with the affected user to understand the sequence of events and identify the source of the attack.
- Data Recovery: Leveraging backup systems in place, Kaznetic initiated a recovery process to restore the encrypted files from the most recent backups. This step was crucial in ensuring that the restoration was comprehensive and accurate, minimising data loss.
- Post-Recovery Assessment: After successfully restoring the data, Kaznetic conducted a thorough security assessment to strengthen the client’s cybersecurity posture and prevent future incidents.
Results
Kaznetic's swift and effective response to the cybersecurity incident resulted in a 100% recovery of encrypted data. The real estate agency experienced minimal loss of documentation thanks to the quick action by Kaznetic. This incident underscored the importance of having robust cybersecurity measures and response plans in place.
