Sai Huda authored the best-selling book, Next Level Cybersecurity: Detect the Signals, Stop the Hack, and is an advisory board member at the Cyber Center of Excellence.
As a cybersecurity expert, Sai Huda served in an executive role at Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., a Fortune 500 company, leading the risk, information security and compliance business to attain number one ranking in RiskTech 100. Sai Huda is alerting consumers and businesses to the threat from zombies. One of the methods hackers use to steal information is a “zombie” computer infected with malware that is remotely controlled and linked to a network manipulated by hackers. Zombies have earned their name because the computer owners are not aware that their systems are being manipulated. Zombies are frequently used to launch attacks or to send phishing emails to other targeted computers. Sometimes hackers will create a large group of these zombies to launch attacks, this is known as a botnet attack. Sai Huda says if computers start showing slow performance, this could be a signal that the computers have become zombies. He says consumers and businesses should also monitor for other anomalies or unusual behavior of the computers, such as running more than normal because hackers can remotely turn them on.
