Why are small businesses victims of cyber attacks and data breaches?

Small businesses are often targeted by cybercriminals because they may have weaker security systems in place than larger companies. Additionally, they may be more vulnerable to phishing and social engineering scams because their employees may be less experienced in identifying such threats.

Furthermore, because small businesses often have fewer resources to devote to cybersecurity, they may be less able to detect and respond to a data breach in a timely manner. Also they are often considered as low hanging fruit as they usually have limited security measures and in house expertise to deal swiftly with incidents compared to the larger business.
