Cyberattacks are a constant problem but can be tackled with the right cybersecurity measures. This week’s news headlines feature one such incident, reemphasizing the significance of being vigilant online.
The Internet is a vast place. It is estimated that there areclose to 2 billion websites online in 2022. Each of these websites has a unique hostname, or ‘domain’, that can be resolved into an IP address.

For example, a Google search for “how to make a voicemail” may direct you to websites with the word ‘voicemail’ in the domain name.
