When You Fall Victim To A Cyber-Attack Through
No Fault Of Your Own, Will They Call You

Stupid…Or Just Irresponsible?

An URGENT Notice To All State, County, and Local Government Agencies In The Greater Pittsburgh Area: We have entirely FREE and time-sensitive information that is critical for you as an IT Director or Procurement Director to know regarding growing cyber security threats AND your agency’s credentials being sold on the “Dark Web.” Please respond ASAP.

From The Desk of: Leia Kupris Shilobod
IT Princess of Power & CEO, InTech Solutions, Inc.

 

Dear Security Conscious Manager,

It’s EXTREMELY unfair, isn’t it? Victims of all other crimes – burglary, rape, mugging, carjacking, theft – get sympathy from others. They are called “victims” and support comes flooding in, as it should.

But if your agency is the victim of a cybercrime attack where employee or citizen data is compromised, you will NOT get such sympathy. You will be instantly labeled as stupid or irresponsible. You will be investigated and questioned about what you did to prevent this from happening – and if the answer is not adequate, you can be found liable, facing serious fines and lawsuits EVEN IF you trusted an outsourced IT security company to protect you. Claiming ignorance is not an acceptable defense, and this giant, expensive and reputation-destroying nightmare will land squarely on YOUR shoulders. But it doesn’t end there…

According to PA state laws, you will be required to tell your employees and citizens that YOU exposed them to cybercriminals. The press will have a heyday over this. Citizens will be IRATE and complaints will come rolling in. Morale will TANK and employees will BLAME YOU. Your bank is NOT required to replace funds stolen due to cybercrime (go ask them), and unless you have a very specific type of insurance policy, any financial losses will be denied coverage.

And now cybercriminals are targeting state and local governments. Just 8 weeks ago in March 2018, cyber actors launched a ransomware attack on state municipality networks and judicial networks in Connecticut.

Please do NOT underestimate the importance and likelihood of these threats. It is NOT safe to assume your IT security company or 3^rd Party Consultant is doing everything they should be doing to protect you; in fact, there is a high probability they are NOT, which we can demonstrate with your permission.

Who Am I And Why Am I Writing You Today?

My name is Leia Shilobod, CEO of InTech Solutions. We specialize in advanced cyber security products and training to protect institutions in the Greater Pittsburgh area and have a stellar reputation for fast, proactive service built over 12 years. I meet quarterly with Security Engineers and CISSP’s to discuss the latest threats and how to protect against them and am often sought after to speak on cyber security.

All staff here is trained in cyber security and I have a CISSP on staff who regularly completes Compliance Assessments and security consulting. This year we added penetration testing to round out our security services.

I do realize that the above statements and this letter may come across as “fear-mongering.” It may even upset you. That is not my intent. I truly only seek to help. In fact, I’m writing to offer you a Free Cyber Security Risk Assessment for your agency to introduce our services to you AND to help you determine if your organization could truly survive a cybercrime attack.

To help you understand why I’m so passionate about this topic, let me share with you just ONE cybercrime horror story that may help you understand why I’m so passionate about this.

My Own Personal Cyber Security Nightmare

That incident made me want to do something. I was SO ANGRY that this happened to a small manufacturer that made a great product and provided so many with jobs! It was unbelievable! The owner of this business was a hardworking person, just like you and me. He didn’t deserve to be punished for a crime he didn’t even commit! Nobody does! His only “guilt” was ignorance. He trusted the wrong IT company to protect him, which is hardly a crime. That’s why I decided to start a personal mission to help – and at least EDUCATE – as many IT decisions makers as I could about the dangers of cybercrime and how they can protect themselves from losing everything.

That’s why I’m writing YOU TODAY.

Obviously I don’t know you or your situation. Your IT security guy or department might be brilliantly ahead of all of this for you, doing all the right things to protect you. However, it’s also VERY possible you’re being underserved and ill-advised by your IT security company.

I frequently get calls from business owners and IT departments desperate for help after a ransomware attack or devastating virus, or even to clean up the aftermath of a disgruntled employee, who HAD an IT security company that they trusted with the responsibility of protecting the business, but realized all too late they weren’t doing the job they were hired to do.

There are many reasons for this. First, it could be that they simply don’t know how to advise you, or even that they should. Many outsourced firms know how to keep a computer network running but are completely out of their league when it comes to dealing with the advanced cyber security threats we are RECENTLY seeing.

Second, they may be “too busy” themselves to truly be proactive with your account – or maybe they don’t want to admit the service package they sold you has become OUTDATED and inadequate compared to far SUPERIOR solutions available today.

And finally, NOBODY (particularly outsourced IT security firms you are paying big bucks to KNOW what they are talking about) likes to admit they are out of their depth. They feel compelled to exaggerate their ability to avoid being fired. To be fair, they might actually have you covered and be on top of it all. However…

In my admittedly informal survey, talking to over a dozen CEOs, IT Decision Makers, and IT Directors who have been hacked or compromised, almost all of them told me they thought their IT security company “had things covered.” That’s why it’s VERY likely they DO NOT have you “covered” and you need a pre-emptive, independent risk assessment like the one I’m offering in this letter.

As a CEO and IT Professional myself, I understand that you have to delegate and trust, at some level, that your teachers and vendors are doing the right thing – but it never hurts to validate that they are. Remember, it’s YOUR reputation, YOUR pot of money, YOUR agency that’s on the line. THEIR mistake is YOUR nightmare.

Our Free Cyber Security Risk Assessment Will Give You
The Answers You Want, The Certainty You Need

For a limited time, we are offering to give away a Free Cyber Security Risk Assessment to a select group of districts. This is entirely free and without obligation. EVERYTHING WE FIND AND DISCUSS WILL BE STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.

This assessment will provide verification from a qualified third party on whether or not your current IT security company is doing everything they should to keep your computer network not only up and running, but SAFE from cybercrime.

Here’s How It Works: At no cost or obligation, my CISSP and I will come to your office and conduct a non-invasive, CONFIDENTIAL investigation of your computer network, backups and security protocols. Your current IT company or guy DOES NOT NEED TO KNOW we are conducting this assessment (but you are welcomed to tell them). Your time investment is minimal: one hour for the initial meeting and one hour in the second meeting to go over our Report Of Findings.

When this Risk Assessment is complete, you will know:

• If you and your employees’ login credentials are being sold on the Dark Web (I can practically guarantee one or more are… THIS will shock you). Thanks to a new threat intelligence and ID-monitoring service we subscribe to, we can run a report on YOUR agency and see what credentials are actively being sold on the Dark Web.
• IF your IT systems and data are truly secured from hackers, cybercriminals, viruses, worms and even sabotage by rogue employees. If you’re not getting weekly security updates from your current IT security service, your systems probably aren’t secure. You should also know that antivirus software and most firewalls are grossly inadequate against the sophisticated attacks now happening.
• IF your current backup would allow you to be back up and running again fast if ransomware locked all your files. In over 80% of the computer networks we’ve reviewed over the years, the owners were shocked to learn the backup they had would NOT survive a ransomware attack. Ransomware is designed to infect your backups as well, leaving you defenseless. There are only a handful of backup systems that will prevent this from happening.
• DO your employees truly know how to spot a phishing e-mail? We will actually put them to the test. We’ve never seen a company pass 100%. Never.
• Are your IT systems, backups, policies and procedures in sync with compliance requirements for your industry? Your Cyber Liability Insurance? International Best Practices?

If we DO find problems…overlooked security loopholes, inadequate backups, credentials that have been compromised, out-of-date firewall and antivirus software and (often) active malware…on one or more of the PCs in your organization, we will propose an Action Plan to remediate the situation that you can have us implement for you if you choose, or give it to . Again, I want to stress that EVERYTHING WE DISCUSS AND DISCOVER WILL BE STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.

Why Free?

Frankly, we want the opportunity to be your IT security company. We know we are the most competent, responsive and trusted IT services provider to firms in the Greater Pittsburgh Area.

However, I also realize there’s a good chance you’ve been burned, disappointed and frustrated by the complete lack of service and the questionable advice you’ve gotten from other IT security companies in the past. In fact, you might be so fed up and disgusted with being “sold” and underserved that you don’t trust anyone. I don’t blame you.

That’s why this assessment is completely and entirely free. Let us earn your trust by demonstrating our expertise. While we would love the opportunity to be your IT security company, we will come in with no expectations and only look to provide you with fact-based information so you can make a quality, informed decision – and we’ll ONLY discuss the option of becoming your IT security company if the information we share makes sense and you want to move forward. No hard sell. No gimmicks and no tricks.

Please…Do NOT Just Shrug This Off
(What To Do Now)

I know you are extremely busy and there is enormous temptation to discard this, shrug it off, worry about it “later” or dismiss it altogether. That is, undoubtedly, the easy choice…but the easy choice is rarely the RIGHT choice. This I can guarantee: At some point, you WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH A CYBER SECURITY EVENT.

Hopefully you’ll be brilliantly prepared for it and experience only a minor inconvenience at most. But if you wait and do NOTHING, I can practically guarantee this will be a far more costly, disruptive and devastating attack that will happen to your business.

You’ve spent a lifetime working hard to get where you are today. Don’t let some lowlife thief operating outside the law in another country get away with taking that from you. And certainly don’t “hope” your IT security is totally covered. Get the facts and be certain you are protected.

Leia and the InTech team have provided first rate support, and more than that, they are a true partner. They have provided us an honest assessment of our IT infrastructure and enhanced our ability to focus on our core function as a business, rather than being side-tracked by IT "nuisances".
