And people get tricked all the time.<\/p>

A\u00a0report published by Norton<\/a>\u00a0confirmed that last year 978 million people have been victim of cybercrime, with hackers stealing an astonishing total of $166bn from customers. And often, victims don\u2019t just end up losing money but also valuable working time, as dealing with each cybercrime typically results in two full working days spent dealing with the aftermath.<\/p>

These eerie numbers mean that each of us should always keep an eye out for the latest cyber threats skulking in the shadow. And the best way to protect yourself is to\u00a0exorcise\u00a0exercise common sense and learn about the techniques used by hackers and fiends to haunt their victims.<\/p>
