How many of you, if your computer systems were taken offline and you could not access any information or use any of your technology, would be able to function normally?
Maybe you could for a day. What about for a week? A month? What if you could not get your information back and had to start over from scratch? How much would that cost? Could you recover?
Initially, when these attacks started to be published in the news it was all about customer records being exposed. While this is a compelling news story and a major problem for many businesses, it isn’t necessarily where the biggest problems come from.

By keeping that in mind it becomes really easy to see that almost all of us are a target for hacking. The method may, however, be different.
