## …And We’re Not Even Halfway Through It Yet

In 2022, cybercriminals reportedly stole $300 million from citizens and entities throughout New England. When I first read that number, which the FBI provided, I honestly thought it felt low. Then I reread the sentence. That’s just how much money the criminals made off with—not the cost of the damages they caused, or the estimated value of the collective information that was stolen, the loss of productivity, the cost of scrambling to get back to normal, and everything else that comes with a cyberattack.

**Small and medium-sized businesses NEED to take cybersecurity seriously.**

This article aims to shed light on the impending cybercrime wave. We'll delve into the statistics, the key threats, and the preventative measures that can be taken.

Let’s talk about why this is and review a few standard practices you should prioritize as you go about this process.
