Following the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s June 22nd National Terrorism Advisory Bulletin, Globe Midwest™ Adjusters International is advising business owners to take proactive steps to protect their organizations. The bulletin warns of a “heightened threat environment” driven by both foreign and domestic actors, with cyberattacks — including phishing, ransomware, and data breaches — representing a growing and significant risk to companies across the country.

Cybersecurity expert Kurt Knutsson, known as The CyberGuy, underscored these findings and emphasized the increasing danger posed by Iranian-backed cyber threats targeting U.S. infrastructure, small businesses, and everyday Americans.

In light of this advisory, Globe Midwest™ strongly recommends that businesses review their cybersecurity protocols and take proactive measures, including:

Enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across all critical accounts
Keying all software and systems up to date
Exercising caution with links and attachments to prevent phishing attacks
Using strong, unique passwords and leveraging a secure password manager
Maintaining regular, secure backups of all critical data
Securing all WiFi networks with strong passwords and disabling remote access
Remaining vigilant against social engineering scams that target employees and financial data
