The deadliest cybercrimes reported till to date

It is difficult to label any one cybercrime as the "deadliest" as the impact of each cybercrime varies depending on the nature and severity of the crime, the number of victims affected, and the damage caused. However, there have been several high-profile cybercrimes that have had significant consequences:

 WannaCry ransomware attack: In 2017, a global ransomware attack known as WannaCry affected over 200,000 computers in 150 countries. The attack targeted computers running Microsoft Windows operating systems, encrypting data and demanding payment in exchange for decryption.

 NotPetya ransomware attack: In 2017, a ransomware attack known as NotPetya hit several companies worldwide, causing an estimated $10 billion in damages. The attack was attributed to a state-sponsored hacking group, and it spread rapidly, causing significant disruption to several critical infrastructure systems.

 Equifax data breach: In 2017, a data breach at the credit reporting agency Equifax exposed the personal information of approximately 147 million people. The breach included names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, and other sensitive data.

 Target data breach: In 2013, the retail giant Target suffered a data breach that compromised the credit and debit card information of 40 million customers. The breach resulted in significant financial losses for Target and its customers and raised concerns about the security of credit card transactions.

 These are just a few examples of the cybercrimes that have had significant consequences. It's important to recognize the seriousness of cybercrime and take measures to protect oneself from becoming a victim.
