Online businesses in India are in Danger!

    Hello everyone! NewAgeInformers wishes a Happy Dipawali and Happy New Year which will bring lots of happiness, wealth and health to all our readers.

    Today, I am going to share some information about how weak our Cyber security is. With the increasing craze of Internet and online business, all are trying to setup their businesses online, but the truth is we are not that much safe in the field of digitalization. According to the recent survey done by Quick Heal, National Internet Registry and Indian businesses had gone through a cyber attack which resulted into the burglary of 6000 and more chunks having sensitive information. More than 6000 businesses which are based in India are fully unknown about the cyber attack which led to this data breach.  They even don't know about the attackers and they have no idea of the hackers who did this.



    Quick Heal, the international security  firm, had reported this data breach and also said that these  information is being found on the Dark Web for sale. This data breach has much more important data which includes informations from businesses like different service providers, some of the banks, and it also included some of the departments of Government. This attack clearly shows that online businesses are easy and efficient but with lesser security it will harm the businesses and led to such kind of data breach. The attack affected the NIXI (National Internet Exchange of India) also.

    According to the statement given by the NIXI the data breach was very small in amount. They are thankful of having high security system and different anit-cyber attack protocols. It helped them to resist this attacks and also saved them from major data breach. They listed that the data which were stolen are not that much confidential or important in comparison to other pieces of the breach.They said that the data which was compromised consist of some of the basic information including some insensitive contact details. Due to strong protocols at NIXI, the attackers were unable to steal confidential data.

    As soon as the data breach was reported by Quick Heal, all the victims including governmental departments were informed. Cyber security personals are looking after the sale on the Dark Web in order to stop that sale of important information of different businesses and other. If it will be sold to any malicious person than the businesses will have to face a huge lose by this attack. All are raising questions about the quality of security in India in the field of cyber forensics and Internet. Many of the experts are working on the loop holes from where such attacks are taking place and also getting succeed. In this world where digitization is getting more and more importance, security should be the first topic of concern for all.

    In order to be safe from such kind of attacks, we always suggest 2-3 common and easy steps. They are as follows:-
1) Always keep your software up-to-date with regular updates.
2) Always keep a backup of all the sensitive and important data in an external hard-drive.
3) Never open any of the unknown links or advertises getting it from your email or any other instant messaging app.
4) Always log-out your accounts in it is not needed.

    Thank you for today and once again our team you all lots of happiness, health, wealth and joy this Dipawali and New Year. Stay connected by following us with the following for more updates.
