A New Approach to Stealing Identities
Research company Gartner is about to release it’s new forecast showing us what security threats we’ll be dealing with in the future. To raise interest in their soon to come data, they’ve given away some of the details, as a teaser that seems to be working great. Their statements have been also reported by Dark Reading.
What is really interesting here is their view on where new threats will emerge. Hackers and all types of wrong doers will target all things shared and social. While this will be mostly to facilitate the quick spread of malware, social networks will also be targeted to obtain credentials. So beware what personal data you post on your social profiles, make sure you find out how your email passwords are handled when you import contacts or send out invitations. Try these easy steps to make sure your identity isn’t then misused.
Our blog will fill you in with other interesting findings as soon as the official Gartner Forcast hits the market, so see you all soon!
