In a startling revelation, Israel's National Cyber Directorate (INCD) Director Yossi Karadi disclosed that hackers have stolen an astonishing 2 petabytes of data from Israelis in recent years. This equates to a staggering amount of data, surpassing the digital capacity of the entire National Library of Israel, which holds only 20 trillion bytes. To put this into perspective, the hackers have effectively seized the equivalent of 100 national libraries' worth of information. The cyber threat landscape has evolved rapidly, with hackers now operating at the petabyte level, a significant leap from the gigabyte and terabyte levels of the past. This alarming trend highlights the increasing sophistication and scale of cyber attacks, posing a critical challenge to global cybersecurity efforts.
