What's revealed is how shockingly simple it is for someone to get a hold of your personal data online.
It's not all about identity theft and money scams either. Cyber warfare is a very real threat to global governments, taking place right under our noses.

With threats like this continuing to grow, top scientists are constantly developing more complex algorithms to keep the hackers at bay.
