The development of cyberspace has affected contemporary threats to cybersecurity in many ways. As technology progresses and we become more advanced, so does the creativity of hackers and malicious users. We have become reliant on data being stored and accessed through cyberspace and this gives users the opportunity to try and obtain that data. Like a safe, even with the strongest vault, there may be a robbery. Some of the data that is in cyberspace consists of personal information, bank records, what sites you are visiting, medical records, arrest records, and so much more. My job requires a certain amount of security because we deal with very sensitive information. I have not witnessed a breach or a threat during my employment however, if there was one, a malicious user would gain access to names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, vehicle registrations, criminal records, and more. Personally, I have had a social media account hacked a few years ago. The person used my account to tell entice my friends to click on a link to view an unbelievable video. These links were just access to malware and viruses. I have learned to take better care with my account and information. I try to protect my computer and all information the best that I can.
