Cybersecurity threats are rising dramatically in America,
with reported attacks against U.S. businesses surging by 150% over the past
decade. Nearly 60% of organizations were hit by ransomware in 2024, costing
billions, while families face increased phishing and identity theft risks.
Smaller businesses are now primary targets due to limited defenses, according to
National University.
Meanwhile, Financial Loss by Age: Younger
Americans (18-29) are slightly more likely to lose money to online scams (about
25%) compared to those 65 and older (15%), Pew
Research Center reports. Diminishing Security Confidence: Over

less safe now than five years ago, according to Pew
Research Center.
