Stay Secure: Important Checks Following Recent Cyber Attacks
In light of the recent ransomware attack on C-Edge Technologies affecting small banks in India, we want to ensure our clients that Beillustrated’s systems are secure. However, it’s essential to remain vigilant. Here’s a quick checklist to help protect your accounts and data:
1. Check UPI & Card Transactions
Verify any failed or unknown transactions. For instance, if you notice an unexpected card purchase or a failed UPI transfer, contact your bank immediately to report and investigate.
2. Check Logins for Bank and Online Storage Services
Review recent login activities for your bank accounts and online storage services like Google Drive or Dropbox. Look for any suspicious login attempts or unauthorized access. Ensuring no unauthorized logins can help prevent data breaches and financial loss.
Examples
- If you see a failed transaction on your UPI app, it might indicate a service disruption or potential fraud.
- Noticing an unfamiliar login on your Google Drive account should prompt an immediate password change and a security review.
Proactive Steps
- Update Passwords: Use strong, unique passwords for each service.
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Adding an extra layer of security can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
- Monitor Account Activity: Regularly check your account statements and activity logs for any irregularities.
Stay Safe!
Your security is our priority. By following these steps, you can help protect your personal information and financial data from cyber threats.
