Why Small Businesses Get Hit Hardest by Ransomware

Most people think hackers only go after big targets like banks or government agencies. But here’s the thing. They actually prefer small businesses.

Why? Because small teams usually don’t have dedicated IT security. A hacker knows it’s easier to break into a local clinic or a retail shop than a massive corporation. For example, we saw a small law firm get locked out of their own files last month. They had to pay a heavy ransom just to get their client data back.

You don’t need a massive budget to stay safe. Start with the basics: turn on two-factor authentication for all emails and back up your data offline. If you’re stuck on how to do that, just ask us.
