I’ve never added up the time I spend each day fending off cyberattacks. Listening to and then deleting robocalls on my landline answering machine. Deleting spam emails on my laptop. Deleting suspicious texts on my smartphone. Deleting unwanted invitations on my social media channels.
It’s become ritualistic, and I bet it adds up to an hour or more each day as I’m always working on my phone, tablet or laptop. It’s tough enough doing your job without needing to swat away these attacks like flies buzzing around your head, waiting for you to walk away from your ham sandwich.
