Top Digital Threats Consumers Will Face in 2021

In 2021, one of the main topics is cybersecurity and the potential digital threats consumers will face this year. The new-and-improved security industry is on the rise and along with it comes challenges that we must combat.

The entire world is working on the latest, most innovative cybersecurity solutions to combat the ever-evolving threats. Bulgaria is no stranger to the devastating aftermath of cyber-attacks. In 2019, the country suffered a massive data breach after an attack on National Revenue Agency. As a result, 5 million citizens had their personal information leaked online. The reports suggested that the hacker shared the stolen data on forums.
