    Hotel cyber attack

    How can we protect ourselves?


    Cyber attacks are becoming more and more of an issue - unfortunately also in hotel businesses. What's more, it's no longer just affecting the big players in the industry. IT security is still not on the list of priorities in many hotel businesses, yet hacking attacks are on the rise. In order to be armed against them, preventive measures and concepts for emergencies are needed - also in the hotel industry!

    Cyber attack methods

    In order to obtain sensitive company data and thus prepare a cyber attack, fraudsters use manipulated e-mails.

    Spam mails

    Phising mails

    Trojan

    Crypto Locker Ransomware

    Social Engineering

    Also an issue in the hotel industry

    Spam mails = Advertising mail, Malware, Phishing Mail

    Phising mail: the goal is to grab username and password or install malware in the background - focus in the hotel industry: booking platforms, e-mails from international guests, CEO fraud

    Trojan: disguised as a useful program in an e-mail attachment or as a download

    Crypto Locker Ransomware: a type of malware that encrypts files and then uses a ransom note to deliver a key that reverses this action.

    Social Engineering: people are the greatest risk to IT security. Often, employees of a company are tricked into bypassing normal security measures and disclosing sensitive data.

    Leuchter IT Cyber Security Awareness - Minimizing the risk of cybercrime through targeted training of employees

    Leuchter IT Cyber Security Awareness Service supports companies, including those in the hotel industry, in sustainably increasing their IT security resilience. The greatest risk for cyber crime is posed by the company's own employees, because on the one hand there is often a lack of knowledge and on the other hand there is a lack of awareness of possible attacks via phishing, spam or viruses, which can be infiltrated through a wide variety of channels such as e-mail, social media, WhatsApp, or similar.
