The COVID-19 pandemic greatly increased cybersecurity risks by forcing organizations to adopt remote work and relying more on digital tools. As personnel computing devices were used more for work and video conferencing became primary, corporate networks and cloud services saw increased usage and exposure. This led to some of the biggest data breaches during the pandemic at companies like MGM, CAM4, Easy Jet, Marriott, Zoom, Nintendo and Twitter, compromising millions of accounts and records as attackers took advantage of the situation.
