increase in cyberattacks around the world.
Jyan said online attacks today are often aimed at infiltrating key infrastructure, but that personal information is also being collected through fishing websites.
Jyan said web users must exercise extra caution when filling out online questionnaires, as even giving out incomplete information can be dangerous. To prevent personal data from falling into the wrong hands, Jyan said people should only give out information to websites that meet legal requirements. Jyan said that even then, they should keep the amount of information they provide to a minimum.
