Jun 9, 2021 / 05:01 PM EST INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — While big corporations may get the most attention for major cyberattacks, experts say it’s actually schools, police departments, nonprofits, local governments and other small businesses that are the most-exposed to ransomware, the most pertinent form of cyberterrorism. “It’s the same fear factor that, you know, a kidnapping would be your kid is gone, you have to get the kid back,” said Aaron Pritz, co-founder of Reveal Risk, a business management consultancy in Carmel. “Desperation may come into play and that’s what the attacker is counting on.” Pritz says says attackers can see small businesses as easier targets because they are the least likely to have protective barriers. He says the goal of the attacker is to get as much money possible out of a business often resulting in losing tens of thousands of dollars.
