I'm most concerned about "organized cyber crime groups". I think this one of the biggest threats worldwide. And also, exploited vulnerabilities. What security threats are you most concerned about (if any)?
It's getting harder and harder for me to go without some sort of HIPS or BB, much to my worry. Malware is getting smarter and more aggressive. I run Sandboxie, Avast 5 AV and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware real-time, along with Firefox with NoScript, with everything up to date on patches (not counting problems not yet disclosed)...and I'm still not sure I'm all that safe. I've got a family that knows nothing about the kinds of pop-ups that anti-executable programs/HIPS brings (Hell, I barely do). Unfortunately, it looks like no matter how uncomfortable I am with them or my dislike for them, my time of avoiding them is coming to an end.
For me, any malware that can steal my online banking information. I don't store sensitive personal information on my computer but I do online banking and some government websites so there is always the concern that something could get on my system and steal that information.
Only worried about malware and data loss/leak. Identity theft isn't an issue since we don't use PC for banking or any other sensitive things and i don't even have a bank account
my only fears are social networking cause you can find so much fake people who can take over your account or even your system and now a lot of new threats are created for smartphones that we know have almost zero protection against malicious software.
thats easy, just use an password manager who have good encryption system and change your passwords time to time to ensure you are secure.
Identity Theft/Fraud: I don't make public enough personal details... Data Loss/Leak/Breach: Very hard to happen, I use strong encryption and backup strategies... Malicious Insiders: The system is always locked when I'm not here. Extortion: conservative approaches concerning everything related minimize the chance of this happening to me. Exploited Vulnerabilities: I maintain everything updated, patched and secured, but zero-day vulnerabilities are always dangerous. I voted for this one. Social Media/Network Attacks: they always pose a dangerous risk for me, an occasional user of these network sites/services. Voted for them as well. Organized Cyber Crime Groups: I don't visit suspicious sites, but I'm concerned about attacks to popular sites that I visit that could affect me. Voted for this too. Malware: Always dangerous, because the infection vectors are very diverse and malware today tend to be complex and difficult to detect/remove once they get into the system. Voted for this too.
voted for everything other than malicious insiders, social media attacks, extortion and others as they can affect me
