As we head into 2015, we should not forget the major cyber attacks, data breaches and network breaches that marked the end of the year. According to a report from Symantec, these attacks will increase and become more dangerous in the new year.
We can't forget incidents like ShellShock, but also the Poodle bug, which caused a big problem in Silicon Valley earlier in the year. Symantec warns that 2015 will be even more dangerous in such matters, since technology is constantly evolving and so are hackers.
In this, a naturally large role is played and will play an even greater part, that which we call the Internet of Things. With so many devices constantly connected to networks, from smartphones to refrigerators, hackers have a huge field of action and, as mentioned, each device also has its own vulnerable point.
Symantec warnsabout transactions via mobile phones, home devices connected to the Internet, and Cloud Storage sites, three categories in which the greatest increase in Internet crime is expected.
