Simple steps can make the difference between losing your online accounts or maintaining what is now a precious commodity: Your privacy.
The year-long hacking campaign started in early 2020 and was discovered by Israeli cyber-security firm Clearsky.

In 2010, a computer worm called Stuxnet, created by the U.S. and Israel in an operation approved by George W. Bush and continued by Obama, was discovered to have devastated Iran's nuclear program.
