Cybersecurity

Phishing
The "you've won a prize" email is old news — today's version knows your boss's name and writes in perfect corporate tone.

Ransomware
A cyberattack that doesn't necessarily steal your data at all — it simply locks you out of your own files and demands payment just to give you the key back.

Data Breaches
Most of the damage from a data breach doesn't happen the day it's discovered — it happens months later, when the stolen data finally gets used.

Encryption
The little padlock icon in your browser's address bar represents encryption quietly scrambling your data on essentially every website you visit.

Password Security
The single biggest security upgrade most people could make costs nothing and takes ten minutes: stop reusing passwords.
