Yes, as we inch into December and towards 2023, the time has finally come to tally up the greatest (read: worst, most unfortunate, most ridiculous) hacking episodes of the year. As far as cybersecurity disasters go, 2022 wasn\u2019t quite as bad as other recent years<\/a><\/span>. There were fewer<\/a><\/span> high-profile ransomware attacks this year.

Cryptocurrency hacks led to billions<\/a><\/span> of dollars in losses, droves of giant corporations proved<\/a><\/span> they lacked basic digital security, and, once again, cybercriminals demonstrated that that their business model is an extremely profitable<\/a><\/span> one. Let\u2019s be honest, digital insecurity in the U.S. was\u2014as per usual\u2014a shit-show. Take a quick look back with us, as we review this year\u2019s most memorable hacking episodes and data breaches.
