As an IT Consultant we come across instances everyday of networks being compromised. A majority of these disruptions are due to dental practices with insufficient protection in place for their networks. A single security solution such as anti-virus will not entirely protect you from a malicious attack.
Last year saw a number of highly publicized security threats that many companies struggled to deal with. One of those was some nasty malware called Cryptolocker, which held your files for ransom. While this has now largely been dealt with, news is surfacing of a second version - called CryptoWall - that has begun to infect users.
CryptoWall 2.0 has hit several dental offices in Jacksonville recently. This ransomware program was first detected in early October and disguises itself as PDF attachment files appearing to be invoices, bills, complaints, or other business communications.
