In recent news, there’s been a big issue with construction companies facing cyber attacks. Imagine your favorite superhero has a secret weakness – something as simple as forgetting to lock their door. Now picture that on a larger scale with construction companies. These companies use a special type of computer program to take care of their money matters, just like you might use a piggy bank to save up for something cool. But some of these companies haven’t been as careful as they should be.
Hackers have discovered that sometimes, these programs are like an open door because the companies haven’t changed their locks – or in this case, their passwords. Remember when you set up a new toy or game, and it asks you to create a cool password? Well, it’s very important to make that password unique so that others can’t guess it. However, these construction companies stuck with the default password that came with the software, which is like sticking with “Password123” on your secret diary.
Because of this, hackers, who are like the villains in this story, have found a way to sneak in and cause a lot of trouble. When they get in, they can take sensitive information, mess with the company’s finances, or even ask for ransom money to stop causing trouble.
So, what can be done about this? Say you’re playing a game and you keep losing because you’re making the same mistake. You’d learn to change your strategy, right? It’s the same with these companies; they need to switch up their passwords and make them tough to guess to lock the hackers out.
