Cyber ​​Attacks, Cause and Damage

A hacker attack, or cyber attack, is an attack carried out against a system, device or network, in order to cause harm to the victim, allowing the criminal to obtain advantages by holding confidential information.

These attacks directly affect the services provided by institutions. Websites go offline, access becomes impossible, which causes countless losses. In addition to running the serious risk of suffering sanctions, when exposing customer data, such as: name, CPF, telephone number, among others, as there is the LGPD law (General Personal Data Protection Law).

Criminals generally blackmail these institutions, often threatening to disclose or make confidential data or information public. Ransoms are required so that information remains safe in the hands of crackers (who are the criminals who commit this offense).

Many think that this type of problem only happens to small or medium-sized companies or institutions, and this is a huge mistake. Recently, city halls, such as Vitória, had their systems invaded by hackers, leaving thousands of data and information exposed. Not even the STJ networks escaped these attacks.

In a pandemic reality, more than ever, companies have turned their businesses digital, aiming to remain firm in the job market, not allowing themselves to weaken, in the face of the new reality. And it is this search for digitalization that often puts your assets at risk, considering the lack of investment in digital security.

Some examples of hacker attacks against public bodies recently:

Federal Accounting Council, Court of Justice of Pernambuco (TJPE), National Council of Justice (CNJ), Superior Court of Justice (STJ), Government of the Federal District (GDF), Ministry of Health, Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) , Military Court of Justice of the State of São Paulo, Court of Justice of Pará (TJPA), City Hall of Vitória, Court of Justice of Santa Catarina (TJSC), Court of Justice of Rio Grande do Sul (TJRS),
