A newly released report reveals that there were over 3,000 reported data breaches in 2023. This resulted in the personal information of millions of people being stolen. The average cost of one of these data breaches was $4.45 million. Almost every single organization polled (97 percent!) reported that they have seen an increase in cyber threats since 2022.
Cybersecurity is absolutely critical today, and it’s a problem that everyone needs to be aware of. As a regular person, going about your day, you might not even notice if you are the victim of a data breach. Because of this, most people have a big forcefield of blissful ignorance that makes them feel immune to the bulk of cyberthreats.
But that’s the point—the best cyberthreats are hard to spot. You don’t realize you are being scammed.
