Experts warn of possible cyber attacks

Experts said America could see a potential for cyber attacks from the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

A UW Madison professor said though nation-state attacks don’t seem to be Putin’s goal at the moment, now is a good time to take stock and put added security in place.

“I think we have to be careful generally, but I think it wouldn’t be a bad time for companies and individuals to take security precautions seriously,” said Yoshiko Herrera, Professor for the Department of Political Science at UW Madison.

Herrera recommends backing up hard drives and making sure you have secure passwords in place.
