To the already “classic” search for vulnerabilities and hacking of corporate infrastructures of banks and other financial institutions, attackers added cyber attacks directly on suppliers of IT products.
Added to this is the increasing level of sophistication and quality of automation of “traditional” DDoS attacks, malware distribution, and phishing emails.
And now fraudsters collect extensive information about a potential victim on social networks and wherever open data is available. This is done to personalize convincing deception scenarios of phishing and social engineering, including the use of artificial intelligence technologies.
Also in online stores, social networks, etc. There is also a trend towards increasing hacking of personal accounts. The main hacking method is password brute force.
