By Alison DeNisco Rayome

"This past year was unlike anything we've ever seen," David Dufour, vice president of engineering and cybersecurity at Webroot, said in a press release. "Attacks such as NotPetya and WannaCry were hijacking computers worldwide and spreading new infections through tried-and-true methods. This list is further evidence that cybercriminals will continue to exploit the same vulnerabilities in increasingly malicious ways. Although headlines have helped educate users on the devastating effects of ransomware, businesses and consumers need to follow basic cybersecurity standards to protect themselves."
