This arrives at the time when C-Suite Executives, Administrative IT, Business Owners are struggling to optimize technology to achieve business excellence, efficiency, compliance, governance, et al.
The custodians of administrative IT are not oblivious of these threats, but many chose to keep their fingers crossed and wish they will not be attacked. This is happening at the time when scam artists are becoming innovative, hackers are getting creative at exploiting technology voids. There could be someone who has made into your system as you read this – and you may not even know about this little trip a hacker made in your enterprise architectural structure.
