Overview

For criminals, data is a vast store of treasure waiting to be plundered. The more data flowing around the world, the more opportunities criminals have to exploit it. Data is valuable. The things you do online are tracked, packaged and sold to companies who try to sell you relevant products. Data can also be stolen. Passwords, usernames, email addresses, even your name and phone number can be used to steal your information, hack your accounts, and spread chaos.
