With increased adoption of smart farming technology, IoT<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0devices, and remote operations, cybercriminals now have more opportunities to attack according to a recent post by Farmers Weekly that I picked up on. Why Are Farms a Cyber Target? 84% of breaches stem from phishing attacks. 35% of businesses report impersonation scams in emails or online.17% of farm businesses experience malware attacks, costing an average of \u00a31,205 per breach\u00a0\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
