According to the 2019 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 43% of cyber attacks targeted small businesses. This is because small businesses often have weaker cybersecurity measures in place compared to larger corporations, making them easier targets for cybercriminals. Small businesses may also have valuable data that can be stolen and sold on the dark web, such as customer information or financial data. It is important for small businesses to prioritize cybersecurity and take steps to protect their sensitive information.

Websites require all sorts of private information when you sign up. Just creating an account often means giving away our names, email addresses, phone numbers and other personally identifiable information. Trouble is... Displaying all this information only gives cybercriminals more chances to get to know confidential info about you - information they have no right to see. Protecting yourself is easy. Create privacy groups that provide different levels of access to friends... versus people you don't follow. Plus, only give your selected "friends" access to certain information IF you know them in real life. This could be such things as only letting people who you mutually follow on Facebook see your profile page... ...or your Close Friends list on Instagram, which grants them permission to view private Stories! If you do choose to give away your contact information to someone online... do it on a secure, private chat and most importantly of all, make sure you KNOW who's behind the screen. Use end-to-end encryption. But never display that info on your profile for everyone to see.

Antivirus software works by detecting and blocking known viruses, malware, and other types of malicious software that might infect your computer or device. However, new viruses and malware are constantly being developed by cybercriminals. To combat this evolving landscape of threats, antivirus software needs to stay current with the latest threat definitions, patches, and improvements. Software vendors regularly update their products to address newly discovered vulnerabilities and security risks. If you don’t update your antivirus, it may be unable to recognize newer threats, leaving your system exposed. In short, keeping your antivirus updated is a critical practice in maintaining your overall cybersecurity. Failing to do so can significantly compromise your device's protection, making you an easy target for new malware and cyberattacks.
