It’s no secret that cybercrime is on the increase. The threat of attack is rising with the latest figures revealing the substantial growth of this type of criminal activity. As we all become more computer savvy our reliance on e-commerce and technology grows. Technology is becoming more readily available and our dependence on smart phones, computers, tablets and Wi-Fi networks is paving a digital way of life for modern living. It’s also opening the door ever wider for criminals and hackers intent on breaching the security of our devices for their own financial gain.
