Cybercrime is an increasing worry among many Americans, with breaches in 2017 putting the personal information and sensitive data of individuals at risk. In the last year, the Equifax breach put 145.5 million Americans at the risk of exposed information; other, smaller attacks, like the 2017 Gmail and Instagram hacks, targeted everyday apps.

Additionally, according the Pew Research Center, 64 percent of Americans have experienced some kind of data breach, and a substantial majority believe that major cyber attacks are coming in the near future.
