" The year 2020 will see a transition to a new decade. So will Cybersecurity. 
Gone are the days of networks isolated behind a company firewall and a limited stack of enterprise applications.
The current paradigm demans a wide variety of apps, services, and platforms that will all require protection.
Defenders will have to view security through many lenses to keep up with and anticipate cybercrime mainstays, game changers and new players."

Quote:Massive data breaches, marketers tracking your every step online, shady people exploring the photos you shared in social networks — the the list of digital annoyances goes on and on. However, it’s not completely hopeless: You do have control over your data. Here’s how to improve your privacy online.

1. Check social privacy settings
If you have social accounts, those networks have a lot of information about you, and you might be surprised how much of it is visible to anybody on the Internet by default. That’s why we strongly recommend you check your privacy settings: It’s up to you to decide what info you want to share with complete strangers versus your friends — or even nobody but you.

Change your social network account privacy settings. Here’s how to do it in Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Snapchat and com.

2. Don’t use public storages for private information
Oversharing is not limited to social networks. Don’t use online services that are meant for sharing information to store your private data. For example, Google Docs isn’t an ideal place to store a list of passwords, and Dropbox is not the best venue for your passport scans unless they are kept in an encrypted archive.

Don’t use services meant for sharing to store your private data.

3. Evade tracking
When you visit a website, your browser discloses a bunch of stuff about you and your surfing history. Marketers use that information to profile you and target you with ads. Incognito mode can’t really prevent such tracking; you need to use special tools.

Quote:Every year, Kaspersky releases an annual Black Friday alert to highlight how fraudsters may capitalize on increased levels of online shopping at this time of year when many brands are offering their customers appealing discounts. In the rush to get a big discount or, even more panic-inducing, a limited time offer, many shoppers lose all sense of vigilance. Caution goes out the window and consumers start tapping on links and email vouchers without their usual care and attention.

Spam and Phishing
Unfortunately, online shopping at this time of year needs more security-awareness, not less. It is the peak season for phishers and spammers. Along with many genuine offers, there also lurk phishing scams ready to reel in an unwitting bargain hunter’s bank details. By clicking on a too-good-to-be-true discount link online without checking it’s genuine, you could find yourself at a fake marketplace, that may look indistinguishable from the real website. On these sites, entering your bank details could result in money leaving your account, but no package arriving at your door.

Since Kaspersky has been analyzing financial phishing activity, which began in 2013, there has been a steady rise in threats – peaking at 54% in 2017. However, last year this trend did slow down and decrease. The figure dropped to 44.70%. Financial phishing attacks are still expected to be a big risk around the upcoming Black Friday event, and there will be close analysis to see if the figure rises once more.

" Skimmers host fraudulent third-party processor that looks just like the real thing.

Thieves have devised a new way to steal payment-card data from online shoppers—or at least it's new to the researcher who found it. Rather than infecting a merchant's checkout page with malware that skims the information, the thieves trick users into thinking they've been redirected to an authorized third-party payment processor."

Quote:Business email compromise (BEC) scams are low-tech attacks that use social engineering techniques to exploit natural human tendencies.

While they may not get as much attention from the press as high-profile ransomware attacks, BEC scams are considered one of the biggest threats facing companies today. Between June 2016 and July 2019, there were 32,367 successful BEC scams in the U.S., which cost U.S. businesses more than $3.5 billion, according to figures from the FBI.

Fortunately, there are some very effective and easy-to-implement strategies for stopping BEC attacks. In this post, we’ll show you how you can combine staff training, process implementation and authentication technology to protect your organization from BEC attacks.

What is business email compromise?
A BEC attack is a sophisticated scam that targets businesses and individuals who perform wire transfer payments.

Quote:Unlike regular email scams that are distributed to thousands or millions of users, BEC attacks are carefully planned and highly targeted.

A typical BEC scam involves an attacker gaining access to the email account of a C-suite executive via a phishing campaign, malware infection, password leak or brute force attack. The attacker monitors the compromised email account to learn the victim’s communication habits and gain a thorough understanding of the company’s routine processes and procedures.

Once the attacker has carried out their surveillance, they send an urgently worded email to a target, instructing the recipient to carry out an important request.

What makes the scam so convincing is the fact that the email is sent through legitimate communication channels and appears to be from a familiar and trusted business contact. The target often feels inclined to quickly process the request without question when the email appears to be sent from the target’s boss or boss’ boss.

Monetary gain is usually the primary goal of a BEC scam. Victims are deceived into believing they’re performing a regular transaction, when in reality they are transferring large sums of money directly into the bank account of the scammers.

In other cases, attackers may use BEC scams to extract employees’ personally identifiable information, which can be used in future attacks or sold on the black market.
