The pandemic has created a host of labor, employment, and healthcare issues. Among these, the digitization of health records and increased frequency of employees working from home have created new cybersecurity issues that companies need to consider in 2021, according to a report released by Experian on Monday.

"This is a 'cyberdemic' era that we're coming into because this is going to have long-term effects. We're seeing new targets, and we're going to have to have new methods to be able to protect ourselves," Michael Bruemmer, vice president of consumer protection at Experian in Austin, said in an interview.

Bruemmer explained that he would expect to see personal devices getting hacked as employees work from home, contact tracing apps becoming compromised, and telehealth companies being targeted by cyberattacks moving into the new year. Bruemmer said that in 2020, telehealth breaches were up by 90 percent from 2019.
