Posted: Sun Feb 02, 2025 5:15 am
Prediction No. 2: Camera-based malware is on the way. Say "cheese"!
In 2023, the first examples of attacks will come that exploit vulnerabilities in smart cameras and embedded technology. Although we have been talking about the dangers of using QR codes for some time , we are only just beginning to understand the risks of our smart cameras. As cameras become more complex, the threat landscape is expanding for new approaches that could lead to their exploitation.
We will see an increase in extortion based on the threat of a fictional breach announcement. taiwan rcs data This way the company happily accepts the truth of a breach reported in the news and without evidence. For the actor making the threat, this could mean that it is minimizing the need for the actual breach and the threat itself, which is not even verifiable.
Prediction No. 4: The invincibility of multi-factor authentication (MFA)
There will be a wave of attacks targeting and successfully thwarting multi-factor authentication strategies. Push notifications and other technologies for multi-factor authentication, like SMS, will be leveraged in the coming year. Organizations should expect to see the foundation of MFA being undermined by technologies that compromise the integrity of MFA and require a push towards MFA solutions that use biometrics or FIDO2 compliant technologies.
