Top 10 cybersecurity threats predict the increase in identity theft

Just as environmental changes have caused unpredictable changes in the global climate, cybersecurity threats have become increasingly complex and complex. In this complex undercurrent, ten waves of security threats deserve our attention:

First, the income of cybercriminals will increase by 100%.

With regard to the economic scale of computer crime, a considerable number of estimates are available. Regardless of its current status, the pursuit of economic income will encourage those computer-related crimes to enter a prosperous year.

Second, DDoS technology will be used for phishing.

For example, an attack against a bank or e-commerce website, coupled with a large number of emails, claims that the site is "under maintenance, please access your account from here", or other such social engineering attacks.

Third, attacks against DNS will continue.

The DNS server is a vital part of the entire Internet infrastructure. They are also a relatively effortless target for DDoS attacks.

Fourth, identity theft will show an upward trend.

As long as banks continue to use compensation for customer losses as the primary means of defense and are essentially paying off debt for crime, identity thieves will remain a threat.

Fifth, there will be more attacks against wireless networks.

In 2006, new types of attacks against mobile phones emerged. This includes urging you to call a specific phone number via text message, and infecting the phone via malware, and then spreading it via Bluetooth or even MMS.

Sixth, MySpace will become mature and safe at the same time.

MySpace is flooded with many opportunities for corporate crime. In 2007, the number of attacks from criminals and hackers will reach a certain level, so MySpace will step up its management and monitoring.

Seventh, YouTube will be flooded with spam.

Just like its previous online news, email and IM, this new service video sharing will make everyone's experience suffer some devastating blows.

Eighth, network hardware equipment will be overloaded.

The infrastructure of those key suppliers will also begin to show weak signals. In 2007, this will disrupt and disrupt their supply.

Ninth, the use of Windows Vista has zero impact on the current status of cyber threats.

Tenth, and the last special reminder is that data extortion will not only target financial institutions; governments, schools, and manufacturing companies will find that they have to deal with these threats.
