Housing
Why Housing is a target
The primary target. Includes tenant and applicant names, DoBs, contact details, government IDs, financial hardship data, and support-needs information. Used for fraud, identity theft, and to apply pressure in extortion schemes.
Housing management systems, case/repair portals and payment processing systems are prime targets for cyber criminals looking to cause maximum operational disruption as downtime in these systems creates immediate leverage and significant reputational harm, forcing a rapid response – thus creating the perfect conditions for a ransomware attack.
Attackers target CRM providers, document management systems, and payment gateways. Compromising one supplier can provide access to multiple housing associations, maximising the impact of a single attack and causing long-term operational disruption that ripples well beyond the initial breach.
Poorly segmented or unpatched systems, such as CCTV, access control systems, and Building Management Systems (BMS), in “smart buildings” provide a vulnerable entry point to the corporate network.
