Consumer Reports (CR) has announced it will expand its advocacy work to help people protect themselves from cyberattacks, thanks to a $5 million grant from Craig Newmark Philanthropies.

The new initiative will scale up its capacity to evaluate a range of cyber threats, including phishing, ransomware, and other malware, as well as how to protect online services and endpoints, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices and mobile products, from compromise. The imperative to educate consumers on how to choose the most secure solutions is “urgent,” the group said in its announcement.
