According to Symantec’s 2018 Internet Security Report, the number of reported blocked phishing attacks increased by 92 percent over the last year. Many of those were due to Ryuk, a variation on Hermes, the first known ransomware plague. The malware has been targeting law firms, convenience store chains, and even medical facilities, netting hackers as much as $640,000. Then there are state-sponsored attacks hitting small businesses across America, funded by hostile governments. In addition, there has been a Facebook email scam going around, masquerading perfectly as an email from the massive company but leading victims to download malware.

You don’t want them to become victims of this gross data-sharing.
discriminating against women or minorities, or just simply being ignorant of the policies that hurt or hinder their teams. At the core of all these problems, argues Donna Hicks, is the concept of human dignity. Her book “Leading with Dignity: How to Create a Culture That Brings out the Best in People,” focuses on the core of all successful human interactions: recognizing that every human being has inherent value and worth. By creating a safe, comfortable space for their teams, being fair to the entire organization, and accepting the particularities that make their employees unique, excellent leaders create an atmosphere where everyone is allowed to be themselves.
