Top Hacks and Breaches

It’s only May, and 2017 is well on its way to set a new cyberattack record. As new statistics show, there have been over 1,200 reported data breaches and around 4,800 discovered vulnerabilities released in the first quarter of this year. So, while this post may focus on the month of May – and some of the hacks and breaches that came with it, including one of the largest cyberattacks of all time – we should brace ourselves for a wild ride as the year continues. The month began with the US media giant Gannett Co targeted and hit by a data breach. The breach affected 18,000 current and former employees’ data, and it occurred in the first place due to a successful phishing attack.
