Cybercrimes: Personal data theft, the crime of the future… McAfee, Kaspersky, and Trend Micro Incorporated indicate that personal data theft will be the crime of the future; this activity currently generates more revenue than the economy of South Africa; in a decade, it will exceed the capital of first-world countries.
Some data provided by the cybercrime study:
- In 10 years, cybercrime dedicated to the theft of sensitive information will represent revenues similar to the world’s major economies.
- Mobile vulnerabilities: threats created for PCs are now targeting mobile platforms. “More than 1.4 million malicious and high-risk apps for Android, and Apple was no exception.”
- Social and cloud networks were overwhelmed by aggressive phishing attacks that compromised personal information under the guise of new product launches such as PS and Xbox One.
Now more than ever, users and companies must manage and defend their vulnerabilities, and know what security measures to take to better protect themselves from personal data theft and prevent their privacy from being compromised by cybercrime.
