Cyber Security Threats Currently

Many of the direst cyber security threats stem from circumstances and decisions made now. As more people began to work from home, they lost the various security protocols of their office buildings. As such, they became exposed to more cyber security threats in the future.

One of the leading threats in coming is the old problem of phishing. This method sends emails to workers that claim to be from reputable companies. In these emails, phishers trick individuals into handing over sensitive data.

This data could include critical passcodes or credit card numbers. As a general rule, never trust an email from an outside source that asks for such sensitive information.

Another threat is the use of thread hijacking attacks. In these, attackers with access to an employee's email reply in existing conversations. Then, they send malicious links or documents that expand the attacker's access to the network.

Cyber Security Threats In the Future and Beyond

One of the trends that continues to grow is a new focus by attackers on mobile devices. Over the last few years, it's become increasingly popular in the corporate world to let employees bring their own devices to work.

Likewise, companies currently allow many employees to work from home. As a result, people continue to do their work on mobile devices. This fact provides vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit.

Another growing trend relies on VPNs. VPNs promise to shield your data and provide you with increased online privacy.

However, attackers are also figuring out holes in different VPNs' armor. As they do so, they gain increased access to your data.
