The Value of Personal Data and Cybersecurity

Personal data is a highly valuable asset for hackers, who may sell it to the highest bidder, making cybersecurity a top priority for individuals. Services like McAfee play a critical role in protecting users by blocking suspicious messages, fraudulent emails, and harmful websites. Furthermore, during tax season, personal information circulates through various channels, making it even more susceptible to identity theft. Companies like LifeLock address these concerns by monitoring data points continuously and offering guarantees for restoring stolen identities.
