FBI Warns: Cyber Threats Are Rising—Protect Your Business Now

The FBI and CISA issued a critical warning today about state-sponsored cyberattacks targeting U.S. telecommunications providers. Groups like China’s Salt Typhoon are infiltrating networks, accessing call records, and even live conversations. These threats aren’t just aimed at large organizations—small businesses are at risk too.

Hackers often target smaller businesses, assuming they lack robust defenses. Unfortunately, the cost of resolving a breach, including ransom payments and operational downtime, far exceeds the price of proactive cybersecurity measures. According to industry estimates, ransomware attacks can cost millions to recover from—while preventive solutions cost a fraction of that.

The good news? It’s not too late to act. Taking steps like using encrypted apps (Signal, WhatsApp) and implementing comprehensive security measures can make all the difference. As Jeff Greene from CISA emphasizes, "Even if intercepted, encrypted data remains unreadable."
