The increase in people working from home due to the pandemic has also led to an increase in hacking attempts. Cybercriminals are taking advantage of the fact that many people are now working in unfamiliar or unsecured home networks. This has led to an increase in Dave-style hacks, as well as phishing, malware, and ransomware attacks. To combat this, it is important to secure your home network and make sure that your devices are updated regularly with the latest security patches. Additionally, users should be aware of suspicious emails and websites, as these can be used by hackers to gain access to personal information.

Dave is wanted by the FBI for his involvement in various cybercrimes. It is believed that he is hiding out somewhere in the United States and continues to be a threat to online security. The FBI has offered a reward for any information leading to his arrest. In 2022, the FBI released a public service announcement warning of the dangers posed by Dave and urging people to take proper steps to secure their devices.
