Disruption of nationwide property listings

Nationwide property listings are currently experiencing disruption due to a concerning #ransomware attack on Rapattoni, a prominent MLS vendor, rendering them offline for the past 20 days. Conversations with various affected #MLS organizations have revealed a common sentiment of heightened stress, underlining the urgency of the situation. This incident serves as a stark reminder to the industry about the pressing need for robust cybersecurity measures.

In the midst of these challenges, we’ve engaged with multiple MLS entities seeking solutions. Two MLS providers are actively pursuing a cyber vaccination strategy with our tool, #DocumentGPS, while several others are displaying keen interest.

When we introduced Document GPS as a secure email extension, ShelterZoom’s initial vision was to harness the power of email networks for secure document exchange, control and tracking. However, it’s truly remarkable how this innovation has evolved into a potent weapon against #ransomware and #cybercrime. With over 90% of #cyberattacks and almost 100% of ransomware attacks originating from emails, we find ourselves at the forefront of combatting these threats, armed with a unique vantage point.

Document GPS acts as an immediate shield within the email environment, safeguarding communications and attachments from the escalating menace of ransomware. Its WEB3 architecture ensures that the content enclosed remains untampered, further fortifying defenses against hacking endeavors.

I’m hopeful that the gravity of the recent ransomware attack at Rapattoni serves as an awakening for the real estate and various industries. Building cyber resilience with advanced and user-friendly solutions has transitioned from being a mere roadmap item to an imperative strategy for safeguarding our digital landscape. Let’s collectively rise to the challenge and safeguard our digital future.
