Stanton Greenawalt, a cybersecurity professor at Horry Georgetown Technical College, said these types of attacks usually target larger industries like the pipeline, hospitals or schools, but they can happen to anyone at any time.
Greenawalt said it’s crucial for people to be careful of what they’re downloading to your devices, noting that hackers are on individuals’ systems for a while, months even before someone realizes.
