The Biggest Cyber Security Myth: “I’m Not a Target”
One of the most common things people say about cyber security is:
“Why would anyone target me?”
The reality is… most cyber attacks aren’t targeted at all.
They’re automated.
Attackers run large-scale campaigns that:
- Send thousands of phishing emails
- Test millions of stolen passwords
- Scan the internet for vulnerable devices
They’re not looking for you specifically.They’re looking for someone who is easy to compromise.
And when they find one, they move quickly.
Your accounts can be used for:
- Financial fraud
- Identity theft
- Sending scams to your contacts
- Accessing other services linked to your email
This is why cyber security is about removing easy opportunities.
If an attacker tries 1,000 accounts and:
- 950 have strong passwords and MFA
- 50 don’t
Which ones do you think they’ll compromise?
Not the well-protected ones.
The goal of good cyber security isn’t to be perfect.
It’s to make yourself a harder target than the next person.
