The glittering lights of Las Vegas and the rugged charm of Pahrump aren’t just attracting tourists—they’re drawing cybercriminals. From phishing scams at Sin City conferences to ransomware targeting Pahrump’s small businesses, local companies are under siege. Here’s how to fortify your defenses and keep your data safe.
🎯 Cyber Threats Targeting Nevada Businesses
- Fake Event Phishing (Vegas Special)
Scammers exploit Vegas’s bustling event scene with fake “vendor portals” and “registration links.” One hotel supplier lost $50k after falling for a phishing email. Lesson: Verify URLs and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all accounts. - Ransomware Roulette
Pahrump’s auto shops, medical offices, and retail stores are prime targets. A local mechanic paid $15k in Bitcoin to unlock customer records—a cost backups could’ve avoided. - “Tech Support” Scams
Fraudsters posing as Microsoft or Google reps cold-call businesses, hijacking systems remotely. Never grant access to unsolicited “support agents.”
