60% of data breaches were caused due to unpatched vulnerabilities.

Zero-day exploits were involved in more than 74% of malware in Q1-2021, up 13 points from last year.

A brute force attack aims to take your personal information, specifically your username and password, by using a trial-and-error approach. This is one of the simplest ways to gain access to an application, server or password-protected account, since the attacker is simply trying combinations of usernames and passwords until they eventually get in.

Most people still use single-factor authentication to identify themselves (a pretty big no-no in the cybersecurity space). And while stricter password requirements are starting to be enforced (like character length, a combination of symbols and numbers, and renewal intervals), end users still repeat credentials across accounts, platforms and applications, failing to update them periodically.
