2022 has shaped up to be a pricey year for victims of cybercrime. Cyber attacks plagued the world \u2014 interrupting businesses and often leading to damaged corporate reputations and massive ransomware payouts. This, in turn, has given rise to a buzzword pertaining to operational resilience -\u202fcyber hygiene<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we delve deep into the concept, let us first look at some of the costliest data breaches of recent times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The cost of a data breach heavily depends on the number of compromised records.

In 2020, after a thorough investigation, the company was fined \u00a320 million (\u2248 $27 million) for its inadequate data protection system.
