Cyber attacks are becoming more and more prevalent. Here are some of the most devastating from 2018, as well as ways to protect yourself and clients.
Each week, SSI sister publication TechDecisions (TD) compiles the latest cybersecurity news on cyber attacks and who got hacked from around the internet.
With the end of the year just around the corner, TD decided to pick out some of the biggest, most costly and most inventive cyber attacks carried out this year.
Every week there are multiple stories of people, businesses and products being hacked for fun, for money, and sometimes for evil. So there were plenty of stories to choose from. TD picked out the ones that were big in the news, cost a lot of money and ever took down large portions of the internet.
