Consequences of Cyberattacks

The prevalence and complexity of cyberattacks continue to increase. One outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic was greater dependence on the digital world. This greater dependence has provided increased opportunities for cybercriminals to infiltrate cybersecurity measures. Due to the severe consequences of cyberattacks, prioritizing cybersecurity is of the utmost importance. Overall, cybersecurity is a continuously evolving field, and individuals need to stay up to date to protect their well-being and sensitive information.
