Glenn Baruck, DigiTek

Happy 2021! The New Year has arrived, and with it, a new set of well-intended resolutions. As we begin 2021, one resolution that should be at the top of your list is to review and update your online passwords.

That said, 2020 and the Covid-19 pandemic have fueled an even more significant increase in hacker activities as malicious actors continue to leverage new opportunities to take advantage of citizens and businesses and attempt to cause societal disruption or gain a financial windfall during these uncertain times.
