The hacking epidemic in America continues to be the country s biggest security threat, with more than seven ransomware attacks happening in one hour.
In 2020, America had a total of 65,000 ransomware attacks, and 2021 does not seem to be a better year in terms of the hacking epidemic. The country continues to experience both large and small attacks, and the situation seems to be getting worse.
At first, the ransomware attacks were seen as nuisances, therefore, not taken seriously. However, the situation kept progressing until it became a national security problem.
More and more cybercriminals target essential components of the country s economic infrastructure, and innocent employees data are at risk.
