October is Cyber Security Awareness Month.

Connie Miller with DeWitt Savings Bank in Clinton indicates there are a lot of convenient methods for all our devices, and remembering passwords. She notes, though, that those aren't always the most secure practices.

In 2023, personal data, including names, emails, and passwords, was exposed for 20% of the global population across various breaches. Over 600 million people worldwide experience cybercrime each year. Roughly 33% of adults globally have been victims of a cyberattack in their lifetime, with about 10% experiencing an attack in the past 12 months alone.
