Many Internet users are still concerned that their messages will be read by third parties.
According to a report by the Center for Information Technology and Cyber Security Monitoring (Government Cipher Committee), there were a total of 32,265 cyber security threats targeting critical information technology networks in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 18.7% over the same period in 2023.
