Hacker attacks in the world of digital technology is indeed often makes players in this industry worries. Moreover, the ability of hackers have seen increasing every year. So if it is said by 2016 there were more direct threat of hackers, it looks natural and can happen.
So what sorts of threats and hacker attacks are interesting in the 2016's? Here's his review were addressed by a team of Symantec's security intelligence based on the data it has.
1. Threats In Sophisticated devices are increasingly a necessity
The threat of hacker attacks awful first prediction will emerge in 2016 is on a variety of advanced devices are increasingly becoming an urgent necessity. Some sophisticated devices predicted to be human needs and at the same time a threat of hackers in the year 2016 is as #smartwatch, activity tracker, holographic headset, and the Internet of Things (IOT) others.
Even based on the Gartner report entitled Agenda Overview for the #Internet of Things, that approached in 2020, 30 billion digital devices are expected to be used and connected to a variety of industries. IOT itself is believed to be touching each role within the company. So from here the terrible threat that hackers believed to be increasingly prevalent attack several devices based on Internet of Things (IOT).
2. Hacker Attacks Against Apple Devices Rises
As a world giant companies that manufacture a variety of Internet-based digital device, #Apple predicted to get a hacker attack in 2016's awful. The use of Apple devices themselves continue to increase each year.
According to IDC, Apple accounted for 13.5 percent of global smartphone shipments and 7.5 percent of global PC shipments. From where then hackers will notice an increase in production to break into Apple's device.
This in itself is seen as the number of actors attackers began to develop certain malware designed to infect devices running on Mac OS X or Ios. In the same data from IDC, appears malware infection rates associated with these Apple devices has surged, especially in the last 18 months.
3. Ransomware and Malware Will Battle Escalates
Next, the terrible threat of hacker attacks emerge in the year 2016 is predicted to battle ransomware and malware. Ransomware itself is now grown and spread to Western Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, Europe and Asia. This ransomware groups that spread in 2016 is believed to be in conflict with more traditional malware spreaders.
While most other malware infections closed and unconscious, ransomware infection itself is quite dangerous because it is open and clear. Generally the presence of ransomware on the computer marked on receipt of a request to clean the computer thoroughly to remove malware. But when done cleaning, ransomware will be installed by a separate piece of malware that exists.
4. Attack Risk Increases to Critical Infrastructure
In addition aimed at individuals and companies, hacker attacks in 2016 is also expected to be devoted to infrastructure. Actual attack on the infrastructure of this already happened in 2015, but in 2016 this attack is believed to have increased. Hacker attack on its own infrastructure generally has a political motive.
This political organization will usually run a cyber warfare campaign by attacking other groups for profit or ransom. IOT industry today has become more intense because of the requirements and demands for reporting and increased functionality through connectivity with additional services.
5. Improved Encryption Requirements
Lastly, the prediction of hacker attacks will happen in 2016 is an attack on the encryption. Encryption itself when it has become an important requirement in the industry #technology.
Given the strong encryption of data in transit would then be recognized properly. Unfortunately, there are many devices and new #aplication who have bad implementation. This ultimately led to the vulnerability that allows an attacker who focus on getting access to the encrypted communication through the gap.
For example, a mobile device, which has been popular for the sake of communication, data storage and general technology interactions will be the target or high value targets for cyber criminals who want to exploit it.
