Think You’re Too Small to Be Hacked? So Did Everyone Else

There’s a myth that only big corporations or government agencies are targeted by cyberattacks. But in truth, cybercriminals love going after individuals and small businesses—because they know you’re often unprotected and unaware.

There’s a myth that only big corporations or government agencies are targeted by cyberattacks. But in truth, cybercriminals love going after individuals and small businesses—because they know you’re often unprotected and unaware.

Most modern cyberattacks are automated. Bots scan the internet 24/7 looking for vulnerabilities, exposed data, outdated software, or unsecured Wi-Fi. They don’t care who you are—they care how easy it is to get in.

Once inside, attackers can:

  • Steal or ransom your personal files

  • Empty linked financial accounts

  • Use your devices as part of larger attacks

  • Sell your data to other bad actors

Even high-income professionals with excellent reputations have had their digital lives turned upside down from a single weak password or exposed phone number.

The Real Risk of Reusing Passwords

Password reuse feels harmless because the consequences are usually invisible — until they aren’t. When a company is breached, the stolen credentials almost always end up sold or traded. Attackers don’t care where your password came from.
