The media has a big impact on how we see cybersecurity. News stories often focus on huge hacks and scary data breaches, making it seem like cyber threats are everywhere. While this grabs attention, it also makes people think only big companies or governments are at risk. Movies and TV shows don’t help either—they make hacking look super easy and instant, which isn’t realistic. On the bright side, the media does spread useful tips, like using strong passwords and watching out for scams. Even though some things are exaggerated, the constant coverage reminds people to be careful online, which is a good thing.
