Prudential Financial Cyberattack [and more!]: What we know so far #CyberNews
Prudential Financial, the second-largest insurance company in the United States, has disclosed a security breach in which both corporate and user data were compromised. Prudential Financial, a Fortune 500 company with assets exceeding $1.4 trillion, provides a range of financial services, including insurance, investment management, and retirement planning. Although no cybercrime group has officially taken credit for this attack, Prudential Financial blames organized hacking groups for this incident.
Prudential Financial is but one of the many companies that fell victim to cyber attacks recently. This video reveals a long list of companies that got cyber-attacked in the past few weeks. If you are a customer, employee, or partner for this company, your personal information, data, and hard-earned money could potentially be at risk.
What’s concerning is not only the fact that there has been one cyberattack after another. But the fact some are falsely claiming that ransomware is on the decline. This video will provide facts and statistics to debunk this claim.
