Mobile Phones passively and continuously connect to dozens, hundreds of websites even when turned off. It is critical then for those websites, often connected to popular social media Apps must be responsible to ensure the websites they enable such connectivity too, are maintaining secure domains and DNS records and servers. Failing to do so surely makes them liable for any intrusion or consequential cyber crime.

2). THREAT INTEL: DARK WEB – Are your SMEs Credentials for sale on the DarkWeb? SMEs (Small & Medium Sized Enterprises) Are further confirmed as the primary targets for OcCGs (Organised Cyber-Crime Groups) The Small Business sector has gone from “No real risk” to “Hyperisk”.
