Minimalist · Dec 19, 2014

As regular readers of We Live Security will know, every December the ESET researchers put together their predictions for cybercrime attacks for the coming year.

Top 5 social media security predictions for 2015

Mobile ransomware, targeted job fraud and Trojans lurking behind shocking videos are all expected to make their appearance on social media in 2015.

Studies in the last year on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter allowed Bitdefender security researchers to forecast future trends. While the main threat seems to be targeting individuals using social media, growing corporate adoption of BYOD policies means that they could also spell disaster for an entire company.

Security in 2015: Will you care about the next big breach?

Will 2015 be the year we learn to care about who to trust with our personal data? Experts have some dour thoughts on what's coming, even as US stores begin to support credit cards with more secure computer chips. There's going to be heightened risks from old threats like email phishing attacks, and new threats posed by the Internet of Things, the idea of having appliances, objects, and electronic devices all connected to each other and the Internet. Here's what to expect next year.

Reconnaissance is the name of the game in 2015

In 2015, I predict that we will see more of the same, but there will be a shift, too. We already see it beginning.

The subtlety and length of the breaches that are now being publicly disclosed indicate that the underlying goals of the attackers are moving away from a "smash and grab" theft of credit card numbers towards the benefits accessible by waiting for "interesting" data, probing for possible valuable information and seeking opportunities for disruption and destruction. Similar to the miscreants who traded in secretly purloined celebrity photos long before they were released in a massive bundle in 2014, criminals are sitting inside networks today gathering information to create a more significant payday or opportunity for theft or destruction.

The Biggest Security Threats We’ll Face in 2015

In the past, when we’ve talked about threat predictions, we’ve focused either on the criminal hackers out to steal credit card data and banking passwords or on the activist hackers out for the lulz (and maybe to teach corporate victims a lesson).
But these days, no threat predictions are complete if they don’t address the looming threats posed by nation-state attacks, like the ones exposed by Edward Snowden. It’s been said repeatedly that when a spy agency like the NSA undermines a system to gain access for its own use, it makes that system more vulnerable to attack by others. So we begin this list with that in mind.
