A new year has just begun, and we are looking forward to what 2023 holds. In the face of ever-present cyberattacks, you must also plan for resilience.<\/p>\n

Sixty-eight percent<\/a> of business leaders believe cybersecurity risks are increasing. They have a good reason for doing so. The sophistication of attacks continues to increase. These crimes are also often committed by large criminal organizations. These criminal groups treat these attacks as a business.<\/p>\n

Global cyberattacks increased by <\/strong>15.1% in 2021<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the coming year, it’s important to keep an eye on attack trends to make sure your business remains secure. What are the new methods hackers are using? Which types of attacks are increasing in volume? The importance of knowing these things cannot be overstated. By updating your IT security, you can mitigate the risk of a data breach or malware infection.<\/p>\n

This year, we pulled out the security crystal ball. We’ve researched what cybersecurity experts expect. Here are some attack trends to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n

Attacks on 5G Devices<\/h3>\n

There has been a lot of buzz about 5G over the past few years. Lightning-fast internet is finally beginning to materialize. As providers build out the infrastructure, this is expected to be a high-attack area.<\/p>\n

Hackers are looking for ways to exploit the 5G hardware in routers, mobile devices, and PCs. There are always some code vulnerabilities when you have a new technology like this. Hackers target this exact vulnerability.<\/p>\n

Be aware of the firmware security in the devices you buy in order to prepare. This is especially true for those with 5G capabilities. There are some manufacturers who build better firmware security into their designs than others. When purchasing new devices, be sure to ask about this.<\/p>\n

One-time Password (OTP) Bypass<\/h3>\n

One of the best forms of account security is being bypassed by this alarming new trend. The use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) is well known for its effectiveness in preventing fraudulent sign-in attempts. Despite having the password, it is able to prevent accounts from being accessed by criminals.<\/p>\n

In order to bypass MFA, hackers use a few different methods. Among them are:<\/p>\n
