Behind every cyber attack lies intentional efforts to steal, expose, alter, or destroy data through unauthorized access to networks, computers, or digital devices. The average cost of a data breach is $4.88 million, including discovery, response, downtime, and long-term reputational damage.

• Criminal motivations include monetary theft, data theft, and business disruption
• Political motivations target government agencies and critical infrastructure
• Personal motivations range from intellectual challenges to revenge
• Cyber attackers include criminal organizations, professional hackers, state-sponsored actors, and insiders
• Targets include financial data, customer information, intellectual property, and critical systems
• The FBI is the lead federal agency for investigating cyber attacks and intrusions
• Protecting yourself requires updated software, strong antivirus programs, and careful online behavior
• Multi-factor authentication, strong unique passwords, and scrutiny of messages are essential defenses
• A recent cyberstalking case resulted in federal charges with penalties up to 5 years imprisonment
