Why Cybersecurity Is Critical

Did you know there has been a 300% increase in cybercrime since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic? And that by 2021 cybercrime will cost the world $6 trillion ($6,000,000,000.00) annually? If you think cybercriminals only go after big companies, you’re right—and wrong. When cybercriminals hacked Target by using cash register malware in 2013, they accessed the records of 110 million Target customers. That could have been you! When cybercriminals went after Under Armour in 2018, they accessed the accounts of 150 million users of MyFitnessPal. Imagine using an app and having your username, email address, and password all compromised. But it’s not just about money and individual identities. They can hack into defense systems, interfere with elections, and make false statements appear to be true. That’s why they need to be stopped!
