SKOUT Cybersecurity

Cyber criminals don’t go after just one target in an attack. They make their money by stealing data from hundreds of thousands of people. In one massive breach, cyber criminals stole personal data from 4 00000 customers of the massive video game company Capcom. ... If your information is stolen, it might feel like the end of your world, and threat actors probably wouldn’t notice. So here’s what you can do to stop you, your company, and your customers from becoming a statistic: It’s vital to secure your devices, now more than ever. Consider investing in cybersecurity measures to prevent incidents before they occur. Make sure you’re using secure or unique passwords to protect your accounts and information. Always get additional confirmation when you make a large bank transfer, especially when the transfer is international. Even if an email confirmation arrives from a legitimate sender, their account could have been hacked. After all, you don’t just lose valuable time and money in a data breach. You also lose the trust of your clients. What are you doing to proactively protect your business?
