He shared alarming statistics: a single cyber attack costs $3.62 million, 6% of businesses fail within six months post-attack, and 97% of retailers have been hacked. Nevada ranks high in cyber thefts, losing $127 million. Mack emphasizes the importance of strong passwords, password managers, and regular updates.
