hack\u2026<\/span><\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cutimes.com\/2016\/02\/26\/coast-central-credit-union-website-hacked?slreturn=1456760700\" target=\"_blank\">Credit Union Times<\/a>, on February 23, 2016, Brian Krebs from Krebs on Security, reported to Coast Central Credit Union\u00a0that their website had been hacked\u00a0 He stated he shared with the company who he was, how he found the hack, and what they could do to fix it.\u00a0 Unfortunately, they did not believe Krebs.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Two days after he reported the attack, the website remained hacked.\u00a0 On February 25, 2016, the credit union took down their site to patch the backdoor entrance that the scammers installed.\u00a0 It is not believed the scammers obtained any personal information; however the possibility was certainly present.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">PC Pitstop\u2019s Vice President of Cybersecurity, Dodi Glenn, shared a statement with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cutimes.com\/2016\/02\/26\/coast-central-credit-union-website-hacked?slreturn=1456760700\" target=\"_blank\">Credit Union Times <\/a>regarding this matter,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">\u201cThis [Krebs] article really shows that Coast Central Credit Union does not\/did not have a plan in place in the event of a breach.\u00a0 Not only do they not have the lines of communication in place, they also have not trained employees what to look for or who to go to.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Not only is it important for companies of all shapes and sizes to have the proper breach prevention and detection processes, but also adequate disaster recovery plans in the event of a breach.\u00a0 Employees must know the process to follow if a security breach occurs.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Unfortunately, disaster recovery plans are a rarity.\u00a0 Company executives tend to believe that breaches won\u2019t happen in their company because they have security controls in place, when in reality it\u2019s quite possible.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Scammers are getting smarter and working around whatever vulnerability they may find.\u00a0 It is imperative each company have a disaster recovery plan in place, and all employees are aware of their responsibilities if implementation was necessary.
