In an age where even your fridge can be hacked, not knowing basic cybersecurity is a rookie mistake, according to Bolde, a top destination for single millennial and Gen Z women.
Cyberattacks are no longer distant threats affecting only big corporations; they’re personal, pervasive, and potentially crippling. A report by Cybersecurity Ventures predicted cybercrime damages will cost the world $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, outpacing the damage inflicted by natural disasters. Ignoring this issue is akin to leaving your front door wide open in a dodgy neighborhood.
Simply put, knowledge is power. Familiarize yourself with cybersecurity basics like two-factor authentication, secure passwords, and recognizing phishing attempts. Educate yourself and those around you to create a safer digital environment. Because in today’s world, ignorance isn’t just bliss—it’s a liability.
Whether you’re looking for insight into your relationship, advice on what to do about your new dating app match, or some consolation after you get ghosted again, Bolde has something for everyone, including guidance on 13 things that make you look clueless in today’s world, with not understanding basic cybersecurity coming in near the top of the list after ignoring the rise of AI and being clueless about social media.
