"Small Businesses Suffer Record Number of Cyberattacks"
According to the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC), nearly three-quarters (73%) of US small business owners reported a cyberattack last year, with employee and customer data most likely to be targeted in data breaches. The ITRC compiled its data from interviews with 551 small business owners and employees. The ITRC found that, despite experiencing a record number of attacks, most (85%) of the respondents said they were ready to respond to a cyber incident, up from 70% last year.
