New vulnerabilities and exacerbation of old ones
Not all companies were able to provide employees with corporate devices for remote access, so many of them had to rely on the use of employees' personal devices when working remotely, which are often accessible to all household members. For this reason, remote work has made the task of organizing the security of employees' home computers acutely relevant, especially considering that it had to be solved in an emergency mode.
to miss it!
- Of course! I've already seen the dawn.As practice shows, at best, home devices only have an antivirus installed as a means of protection. For attackers, this has opened up new loopholes in corporate ICT infrastructures and cloud environments that provide services for remote work (the demand for which has increased sharply during the pandemic).
The risks associated with the use of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and terminal access in general, which have become popular, have become more acute. The number of DDoS attacks on remote access gateways has increased, and if the architecture of these gateways was designed incorrectly (for example, it included only one device without redundancy or one Internet connection channel), then even a not very strong DDoS attack could easily disrupt their functionality.
“Fortunately, during the months of the pandemic, no new el salvador whatsapp data technologies were detected by cybercriminals,” comments Cisco information security expert Alexey Lukatsky. “But they successfully used well-established techniques, actively exploiting the coronavirus theme in their spam mailings, phishing attacks that provoked Internet users to visit infected Internet resources (for example, to verify the reliability of data published by official media about the progress of the pandemic, to take free training, etc.). Cisco Talos, the world’s largest private threat research group, regularly identified such resources and helped to bring knowledge about them into Cisco security solutions.”
The pandemic also affected the choice of potential victims of cybercrime: there was an increase in interest from attackers in medical institutions, including developers of means of protection against coronavirus (most likely, the cybercriminals were pursuing the goal of stealing the results of their research).
- Go! You deserve it today! Rest!
An international team of experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Queen Mary University of London conducted a study into the potential risks associated with home surveillance cameras.
