Why Would Hackers Target Your Emails and Passwords?

Hackers are increasingly targeting small companies, planting malware that not only steals customer data and contact lists but also makes its way into the computer systems of other companies, such as vendors.
Hackers also might be more interested in your employees than you'd think. Are your workers relatively affluent? If so, chances are the hackers are way ahead of you and are either looking for a way into your company or are already inside, stealing employee data and passwords, which (as they well know) people tend to reuse for all their online accounts.

Your company is probably also vulnerable to being attacked through its partners. How much do you
know about your vendors' or B2B customers' security capabilities? A lot of organizations enter into working agreements with other firms without auditing the partners' data protections.

Getting hacked (if you're even aware of it) is aggravating, time-consuming, and resource-draining, even if your monetary losses are insured. Your reputation with vendors and customers will suffer.

Meanwhile, the battle between hackers and organizations is continuing to evolve. Hackers are getting smarter and more dangerous all the time.

How to prevent being hacked:
- Use strong passwords, a combination of numbers and letters.
- Don't use your loved ones passwords. Increasingly, most people use their loved ones names as their passwords.
-Clean up the cookies in your computer, and if using a public computer o cyber cafe, clear up your history on the History tab at the top of your browser.
