As the COVID-19 pandemic winds down, there are still concerns about people who do not get the vaccine and the potential they have to spread illness.

The hack of JBS Meat caused food prices to increase. It begs the question: are hackers expanding their scope of the attack and will it finally put cybersecurity front and center for the general public?Guest Expert:Greg Johnson, Webcheck
