Cybersecurity is a rising concern globally — for individuals, businesses and nations. Unfortunately, many either don't take the threat seriously or aren't doing enough to protect themselves from cybercrime.

America is not the most-hacked nation, but we still have a long way to go in terms of preventative measures. The most common password, after all, is still simply "password," the worst choice you could make to secure your online identity.
