Cybersecurity Threats

Cybersecurity threats encompass risks including phishing, malware, account intrusions, data theft and the abuse of computing resources. Attackers have recently accelerated their use of AI, combining it with phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platforms such as Forg365 and YY Lai Yu to scale phishing campaigns. They are also using information-stealing malware to target cryptocurrency wallets, credit cards and senior executives’ email accounts, while stronger GPU computing power is increasing the risks of password cracking and illicit crypto mining. Continued monitoring can help identify attack methods, affected industries and remediation needs, and inform which protective measures businesses and individuals should prioritize.
