The Rising Tide of Cyber Threats
Cyber threats come in many forms, from malware and ransomware to phishing attacks and data breaches. In recent years, we’ve seen a surge in the frequency and severity of these attacks:
- Ransomware: These attacks, where hackers encrypt a victim’s data and demand payment for the decryption key, have crippled hospitals, educational institutions, and businesses.
- Phishing: Cybercriminals use deceptive emails and websites to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information, such as passwords and credit card numbers.
- Data Breaches: Large-scale breaches have exposed the personal information of millions, leading to financial losses and identity theft.
