\"Don't
\nAlmost daily, we hear about new hacking attacks and vulnerabilities discovered in popular systems. Moreover, there's been much discussion about how cyber attacks have significantly influenced election outcomes! And not just in Russia.<\/p>\n

It seems obvious that we need to take measures to protect our devices and online accounts. The problem is that until we become victims of a cyber attack or face the consequences of a security breach, existing threats appear abstract. Resources for upgrading security systems are often allocated as an afterthought.<\/p>\n

The issue is not a lack of user qualifications. On the contrary, people are knowledgeable and understand the necessity of protection against threats. However, security tasks often have low priority. Cloud4Y will don the cape of 'Captain Obvious' once again and remind us why digital security is important.<\/a><\/noindex><\/p>\n

Ransomware Trojans <\/h3>\n

\nAt the beginning of 2017, many IT publications named ransomware Trojans as one of the main threats to cybersecurity for the year, and this prediction proved to be true. In May 2017, a massive ransomware attack struck countless companies and individuals, who were asked to 'donate' large sums in bitcoins to regain access to their own data. <\/p>\n

In just a couple of years, this type of malware has transitioned from common to extremely widespread. Such cyber attack variants worry many experts, as they can spread like wildfire. As a result of the attack, files are locked until a ransom (averaging $300) is paid, and even after that, there are no guarantees of data recovery. The fear of suddenly losing a substantial amount or even important commercial information will certainly serve as a powerful incentive to remember about security.<\/p>\n

Finance is becoming digital<\/h3>\n

\nIt seems that the idea of a significant portion of society transitioning to cryptocurrency is being pushed back, at least for a while. However, this doesn\u2019t mean that our payment methods aren\u2019t becoming increasingly digital. Some are using bitcoins for transactions. Others are switching to Apple Pay or its alternatives. We should also consider the growing popularity of applications like SquareCash and Venmo. <\/p>\n

With all these tools, we provide a variety of programs access to our accounts, while these programs are installed on several of our devices. Most of these applications have different digital security certificates, and this is yet another reason to be particularly vigilant about the programs, devices, and even cloud providers.<\/a><\/noindex>Carelessness can lead to your financial information and accounts being vulnerable. Maintain the practice of separating devices into personal and corporate categories, create a protection system for employees and their workstations when accessing online resources, and use other systems to protect financial information.<\/p>\n

Games are becoming increasingly monetized.<\/h3>\n

\nFinancial dealings are increasingly touching on the gaming realm. How many of your acquaintances enhance their gaming experience with small transactions? How often do you hear stories about a child emptying a parent's wallet by buying a bunch of 'essential goodies' in an online game? The time when we simply purchased games and played them has quietly passed. Now, people are linking these games to bank cards and payment system accounts to enable quick in-game purchases. <\/p>\n

In some gaming areas, this has long been the norm. Moreover, on one website dedicated to mobile casino game reviews, it is explicitly stated that using their games and applications is unsafe, as there is a threat of personal and financial data theft.<\/p>\n

Currently, this type of disclaimer is felt not only on casino platforms but also in games in general. Thanks to mobile apps and console games, we often use bank accounts. This is another vulnerability that we rarely consider. It's important to ensure that the devices and software you use are as secure as possible.<\/p>\n

Smart devices pose new risks.<\/h3>\n

\nThis is a large topic that could fill an entire article. The emergence of smart devices that are constantly connected to the cloud can threaten all types of data. In one of the studies<\/a><\/noindex>, which examined the most serious cybersecurity threats of the year, it was stated that internet-connected cars and medical devices are two major areas of risk.<\/p>\n

This should give you some insight into the dangers associated with using smart technologies. There have already been cases where hackers halted smart cars on the road, and the idea of misuse of smart medical devices is also alarming. Smart devices are great, but their vulnerabilities are a significant issue hindering the widespread adoption of such technologies.<\/p>\n

Your electronic digital signature could fall into the wrong hands.<\/h3>\n

\nMany companies utilize electronic digital signatures to access various government services and manage electronic document flow (EDF). Many individuals also have EDS. Some need it for operating as private entrepreneurs, while others require it for everyday matters. But there are many concealed risks involved here. Using an electronic signature often requires additional software, which can introduce security threats, and the holder of the electronic signature must exercise special caution and discipline when working with it. <\/p>\n

Loss of the physical medium of the electronic signature can lead to significant financial losses. Even if you don\u2019t lose it \u2014 risks<\/a><\/noindex> are present.<\/a><\/noindex>Therefore, it is critically important to adhere to all precautionary measures. Unfortunately, practice shows that simple rules like \"do not share your electronic signature with third parties\" and \"do not leave your electronic signature inserted in the computer\" are rarely followed. Simply because it's inconvenient.<\/p>\n

Remember that the information security specialist bears direct responsibility for what happens in the company. They must ensure that the most reliable and secure digital technology products are integrated and used in business processes. If not, they should do everything possible to elevate the level of digital security. If the electronic signature belongs to you, treat it as you would your passport. <\/p>\n

\n\u2192 . This means that the major internet giants are getting bigger, accumulating more and more information, and such leaks are akin to informational atomic explosions. This has never happened before, and here we go again. Yet, although many understand there are risks, they will continue to trust their data to third-party companies. Firstly, there aren't really any alternatives, and secondly, those companies promise that they have patched all the holes and that nothing like this will ever happen again.<\/a><\/noindex><\/p>\n
