Podcast EP7: Can small businesses be hacked? Absolutely.

In this episode of Uninterrupted, host Chris Hammonds talks with Jon Fausz, COO, about why small and mid-sized businesses are prime targets for cyberattacks and what hackers are actually trying to steal.
Many business owners believe they are too small to be hacked. That assumption leads to ransomware attacks, wire fraud, data breaches, and extended downtime. Cybercriminals do not target businesses by size. They target them by opportunity and profitability.

This episode covers key cybersecurity topics, including:
Small business cybersecurity risks and why SMBs are targeted
How hackers steal money through wire fraud and email compromise
How sensitive business data is stolen and sold on the dark web
Ransomware attacks that shut down business operations
Real examples of cyberattacks on small and mid-sized businesses
How cybercriminals bypass firewalls, antivirus, and spam filters
Why employee awareness and verification processes matter
The true cost of a ransomware attack on productivity and revenue

Jon explains the three primary goals of cybercriminals: stealing money, stealing sensitive data, and shutting down operations. These attacks impact manufacturers, CPA firms, law firms, healthcare providers, and professional services firms differently. Effective cybersecurity depends on understanding your unique risk profile.

This conversation also explains why cybersecurity is not one-size-fits-all and why many businesses believe they are protected when they are not. Without proper detection, monitoring, and response, attackers can remain inside systems for weeks or months.

If you are concerned about ransomware prevention, data breach prevention, or protecting your business from cyber threats, this episode provides practical insight every business owner should understand.
Cybersecurity education is the first line of defense.

Watch now to learn how hackers operate, why small businesses are targeted, and how to reduce your cyber risk before an attack happens.
