For consumers, worry about Ransomware, Data Breaches (healthcare, credit, and financial data), and email system hacks .

Ransomware will lock your precious files and hold them hostage unless you pay (if you are a victim, check out free sites like nomoreransom.org to see if their tools can save you)

Data Breaches give cybercriminals the ability to use your credit for their financial gain.

Compromises of email services give hackers the ability to reset your passwords on other sites (banking, ecommerce, etc.) so they can get to your files and accounts.

Be safe.
