Certain cyber security statistics reveal that, on average, a hacking incident occurs every 39 seconds<\/a>, with 30,000 websites being compromised daily.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022 alone, 22 billion records were exposed<\/a> from at least 4,100 data breaches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cybersecurity<\/a> has become such a major topic in our lives that it became the center of attention at the World Economic Forum\u2019s annual<\/strong> meeting this year in Davos, making it a top concern for individuals and businesses alike who want to hire a cyber security company<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it may seem inevitable, and internet users may feel powerless against hackers, 95% of hacking incidents result from human mistakes<\/a><\/strong> and poor cybersecurity practices, such as having common passwords and not using a password manager.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what can we individuals do to protect ourselves, and how hackable are you compared to the rest of the population?  <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Sortlist, we decided to compile a hackability report<\/strong> examining the best and worst cybersecurity practices as well as identifying the factors that increase our risks of being hacked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also built a calculator for you to determine just how hackable you are<\/strong> based on a wide variety of factors including whether your passwords are good enough or if the industry you work in puts you more at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
