400% Increase in Cybercrime during COVID-19
No matter its size, shape, customer base, or industry, every business has had to adapt to a new world because of the novel coronavirus. The same is true for cybercriminals.
They haven't just adapted, they're thriving. Just like toilet paper and hand sanitizer manufacturers and remote meeting companies saw a boom in business, so too have the criminals. The FBI has reported a four-fold increase in the reports of cybercrime since the pandemic began.
While business owners and leaders should always take precautions and invest in security, prevention sometimes isn't enough. Cybercriminals have all the time in the world to find their way around or through the latest security protocols.
When cybercriminals succeed, they often compromise client data — their personal identifying information. When that happens, you have responsibilities. At McGowanPRO, we know the digital privacy and information security world changes quickly and varies from state to state. We'veput together an eBookto help you understand your responsibilities in each and every state.
Download our eBook today. You’ll find great information about what the law expects of you in each state, and your responsibilities should something go wrong. While we never want to have to notify our customers that their information may have been compromised, it would be worse to have an event happen and do nothing at all.
