Look Out! The City of Boise’s Cybersecurity Is Under Attack!

We live in a time where scams and cyber crime are at an all-time high. With the advent of AI and other technology, criminals have an endless box of tools at their disposal.

What In The World Is Happening In Boise?

In an interview with Idaho News, a city official talked about the dangers government entities are facing in the form of cyber attacks.

Now, we don't know about you, but it almost feels like we're all under some form of cyber attack. How many times have you received a scam text message in the last few weeks? How many phishing scams are currently sitting in your inbox right now?

These are the types of threats officials told Idaho News, and we have to wonder - what will these cyber criminals target next?

What Is Boise Doing About It?

According to city officials, Boise's cybersecurity teams have been working on the city's defenses against cyber attacks. Still, one has to wonder which parts of our infrastructure could be affected.

With all of the recent focus on saving money, are we inadvertently compromising our own security?

Also, what about us, the people living in Boise? What about small business owners? We found a checklist that could help small business owners protect themselves from cyber attacks in the event our government can't.

And remember - scammers aren't afraid to stoop as low as they can to breach our data. There are even people out there posing as charitable organizations benefitting first responders for their personal gain.
