00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:15.920
hello and welcome back to the
cyber security awareness course

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:22.480
in this video we're going to take some cyber
security facts that most people don't know about

00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:29.120
beginning by the first fact about malwares
now I'm sure that most of you are not familiar

00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:36.080
with malwares but we're going to stick with this
definition malwares are computer programs or bad

00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:44.240
computer programs that affect your data spy on it
delete it modify it alter it sometimes encrypting

00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:51.280
it not allowing you to use them now those malwares
they can be injected with anything they can

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:58.320
be injected with an image they can be injected
with a pdf file a video or any other extension

00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:05.600
now the fact about malwares is that they rank
as the costliest form of cyber attack for

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:14.400
organizations this means that organizations suffer
most from malwares now the second cyber security

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:22.160
fact is passwords 80 of hacking breaches involve
stolen passwords or credentials now this is pretty

00:01:22.160 --> 00:01:30.080
critical because most people don't know how to put
a strong password or sometimes they just end up

00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:38.720
giving away their password the third one is about
hacking itself there is a hacking attack every 39

00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:44.880
seconds so as we're speaking right now there
is a hacking happening somewhere in the world

00:01:46.160 --> 00:01:53.200
the fourth cyber security fact is about
cyber attacks 65% of small businesses fail to

00:01:53.200 --> 00:02:01.360
act following a cybersecurity incident and this
goes because of the lack of awareness and because

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:11.200
those small businesses are not able to act against
cyber incidents the fifth one is about firewalls

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:20.960
73 % of hackers say that traditional firewalls
are irrelevant or obsolete now this is pretty

00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:28.800
critical because we all have firewalls in our
houses on our computers we all have firewalls

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:37.360
on our servers if we are IT people but hackers
what they say is that 73% of traditional firewalls

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:45.520
for example windows firewall it is irrelevant
meaning that they can easily breach it and access

00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:54.320
your devices the last one is about awareness
itself 95% of cyber attacks are due to the lack

00:02:54.320 --> 00:03:01.280
of cyber security awareness and this shows how
critical and important cyber security awareness is

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:08.400
now we're going to take a look at this diagram
which represents breached websites so in the

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:16.960
year 2016 a total of 2 million records meaning
a total of 2 million accounts on different

00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:26.080
websites were breached and they were just shown
to the public meaning that I as an end user can

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:34.160
go to google for example and type an account
and I can view its password in the year 2017

00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:43.440
seven million records were breached and we can
see as the number increases from 2018 to 2020

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:55.440
as it is 980 records in 2020. now on the left
side the total websites that were breached in 2020

00:03:55.440 --> 00:04:04.320
were actually 45% websites of the world and those
are the reasons 45 percent were hacked because of

00:04:04.320 --> 00:04:12.320
scamming 30 percent were hacked because of bad
web applications and malicious web applications

00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:19.280
10 percent were because of weak passwords
when for example you have a WordPress website

00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:26.160
and if you want to access your website you would
simply just go to the admin control panel if you

00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:33.840
have a weak password then you will be hacked and
ten percent of the people that were hacked or the

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:39.600
websites that were breached were because of weak
passwords six percent were because of malwares

00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.680
five percent were because of
human errors and four percent

00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:51.280
were because of an unknown reason meaning that
security experts and cyber security inspectors

00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:57.760
they weren't able to identify the cause of
this attack or the cause of this breach now

00:04:57.760 --> 00:05:03.280
this is pretty scary for the first time to read
all these information and to know all these

00:05:03.280 --> 00:05:10.000
facts but then again I would say it if you keep
yourself secure then you will have a less chance

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:16.480
of getting hacked this is it for this video I hope
you liked it and I'll see you in the next video
