Big Game Hunting: Why Hackers Are Targeting the Titans of Industry
🧨 The $100M Question: Who’s Hunting Your Company?
🔍 Cybercriminals aren’t going wide anymore. They’re going deep.
🎯 Big Game Hunting is the new strategy – and enterprises are in the crosshairs. Hackers are skipping random targets and going after the biggest, richest, and most interconnected players in tech, finance, and retail.
