‘Twas the week before Christmas and all through the office,
All the workers were shopping online like an internet novice.
Cyber thieves were nestled all snug in their chairs,
Waiting for work place shoppers who were completely unaware.
As they utilized corporate resources to shop for their families,
The thieves used Malware exploits to steal all their monies.
By clicking yes to a pop-up their drives were quite infect-able,
Leaving behind a Trojan most undetectable.
The damage wasn’t contained to just one workstation,
Crypto Locker spread it through the network with little hope of salvation.
Perhaps we should have added that filter of content,
Or at least doubled checked our backup jobs were present,
Now those thieves are holding our corporate data hostage
They want us to send ransom to some secret cottage
So to all of the work place shoppers who like to avoid the crowds,
Protect your data systems first this season and make Echopath proud!
Special thanks CyberInquirer.com for the idea!
