Common cyber attacks really affect how companies think about online safety. They show where weaknesses are and what trends are developing.

1. Types of Attacks:

   • Phishing, where bad actors try to trick people into giving up sensitive information, causes 36% of data thefts.
   • Ransomware attacks, which hold data hostage until a payment is made, jumped up by 151% in 2021.

2. How to Respond:

   • Many companies are improving employee training to help workers spot these tricks. This can reduce their chances of falling for scams by 70%.
   • Using multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security. This can stop up to 99.9% of automatic attacks.

3. Money Matters:

   • Companies are putting more money into cybersecurity. By 2022, they were expected to spend about $173 billion on keeping their information safe.

These ongoing attacks and the ways to defend against them help build strong online safety measures.
