He misappropriates private data and sells it to criminals, who use it to demand a ransom from the business. Although it is a hot topic, do you realize why cyber security is so important? In the digital age that we now inhabit, data is everything. It is important to realize how much more susceptible personal data is today.
Data breaches and incidences of identity theft that affect millions of customers are topics we frequently hear about. Although it sounds like something from a movie, it happens frequently in today's online environment.
