How to secure PayPal

How to secure PayPal By- Aarti Jatan Your online finances need proper protection. Learn how to secure your PayPal account. With hundreds of millions of users around the world, PayPal has long been an international leader in the electronic payments industry. But as we know, money never fails to attract fraud, especially now, with as much of life as possible taking place online.

Woman dies during a Ransomware attack on a German hospital It could be the first death directly linked to a cybersecurity attack A woman in Germany died during a ransomware attack on the Duesseldorf University Hospital, in what may be the first death directly linked to a cyberattack on a hospital. The hospital couldn’t accept emergency patients because of the attack, and the woman was sent to a health care facility around 20 miles away, the Associated Press reported. The cyberattack was not intended for the hospital, according to a report from the German news outlet RTL. The ransom note was addressed to a nearby university. The attackers stopped the attack after authorities told them it had actually shut down a hospital. Health care facilities are one of the biggest targets for cyberattacks, and cybersecurity experts have warned for years that most hospitals aren’t prepared .
