The Hidden Injustice of Cyberattacks

81% Informative

Cyberattacks have severe and long-term impacts on communities already on the margins of society.

Cyber operations are relentless, growing in scale, and exacerbate existing inequalities in health care, economic opportunities, education access, and democratic participation.

The U.S. currently lacks an assertive response to deter the continued weaponization of cyber operations.

Social movements have fought to promote economic equity, but cybercriminals undermine these efforts by exacerbating financial vulnerabilities.

Digital scams and fraud incidents disproportionately impact those least equipped to recover.

By stealing essential resources, cyber criminals compound hardships for those already struggling to make ends meet or those experiencing some of the worst hardships of their lives—pushing groups deeper into the margins.
