Cyber Attacks Articles

Cyber attacks on small and mid-sized businesses are not opportunistic anymore — they're targeted, research-driven, and often delivered through trusted channels (compromised vendor email, signed installer payloads, legitimate-looking OAuth consent prompts). This tag collects Unió Digital's analysis of real attack patterns: business email compromise (BEC) variations, ransomware-as-a-service economics, the social-engineering playbook behind successful spearphishing, and the post-intrusion tactics (living-off-the-land, credential harvesting, lateral movement) that signal an active adversary.

For each attack pattern, we cover what detection looks like, what an appropriate response is, and what controls would have broken the kill chain earlier. Start with our cybersecurity strategy guide or take the free IT security assessment.
