COLUMBIA (Missouri)— As technology advances, cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated.

“Every time, every year, a lot of changes in terms of what new attacks are happening, and there’s always a surprise element of what you don’t expect is going to happen," said University of Missouri Associate Professor Prasad Calyam.

“Anyone online is at risk of a cyberattack, and I always say either you’ve been attacked, or you will be attacked soon, or you will eventually be attacked," he said.
