"Russian hackers have threatened to release more files of US Olympic athletes in coming days."
The threat to personal and internet privacy has reached epidemic levels and the peak has not yet been reached.
American and Founder of PrivacyAbroad, David Boron says, "US-based 'free' email providers (Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail etc.) are leaving everyone vulnerable to unwanted target advertising, predatory profiling, hackers, and government legislated-snooping."
Points of Importance:
Health care insurance companies and hospitals are hot targets and experiencing widespread data breaches this year through phishing emails and Ransomware seeking valuable employee and patient data.
This is evidenced by attacks on Hollywood hospital, MEDSTAR and a host of other healthcare providers who exchange Bitcoin to regain entry into their computer systems.
Attackers know it only takes one click to infect systems to gain access into their computer systems.
Once they gain entry they lock it down using encryption, demand their price and collect.
These cyber criminals even have customer service departments to handle collections!
Unless hospitals and health care companies utilize secure email systems and cease from using free email account servers where these attacks easily gain entry, these data breaches are likely to occur time and time again."
