Do You Think You're Cybercrime Savvy? 10 Questions to Test Your Knowledge

Posted by Amy Daly

Cybercrime affects us all, especially in the workplace. Whether you’re a company CEO, Information Technology (IT) manager, or any position in between, staying in touch with the seriousness of cybercrime helps to keep this important topic at the forefront of what’s important. And, considering $17,700 is lost every minute due to a phishing attack, staying current is vital.¹

So, how cybercrime savvy are you? Below are 10 questions to determine that answer. Each fact is based on 2020 data gathered from the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center’s (IC3) Annual Internet Crime Report.² If you don’t have time to read the whole report, this short quiz will test your knowledge and help you get up to speed on the growing risks that hide in emails on every desktop, laptop, and mobile device your company supports.

So, grab a pen, jot down your answers, and test your cybercrime savviness.

Regardless of your level of cyber awareness, it’s crucial to keep your business protected from what could be the costliest event in the history of your company. Small and mid-sized companies find it the hardest to survive an attack, with 60% going out of business within six months of being hacked.³ Large businesses may find it slightly easier to make it through a phishing attack, but many don’t. In fact, the global average cost of a data breach caused by a phishing email is $3.86 million.⁴

There are steps you can take to help ensure your company’s money and your clients’ data remain intact. First, take a serious look at your level of cybersecurity and preparedness. Second, identify the team of individuals responsible for cybersecurity and email phishing and have them investigate the leading email security solutions.
