Survey shows increase in cyber attacks on consumers
A survey by HSB, part of Munich Re, shows a continuing increase in identity theft, cyberattacks and online fraud as criminals steal personal information and millions of dollars.
“Americans are more connected than ever, linking all types of devices and systems to the internet,” said Timothy Zeilman, vice president for HSB, a provider of cyber insurance and services. “That gives criminals new opportunities to target individuals at home and on public Wi-Fi networks.”
