"Cybersecurity 2022: More Fraud, More Fakes, More Crypto Scams"

Cybersecurity experts are sharing their predictions regarding cybercrime and cybersecurity in 2022. The Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) in San Diego, dedicated to minimizing risk and mitigating the impact of identity compromise and crime, predicts that ransomware will catch up or surpass phishing attacks as the number one cause of data breaches. Single incidents targeting multiple individuals or organizations will impact more victims across communities and geographic regions. The center also predicts social media account takeover in the performance of cyberattacks will use followers and individual networks to create new victim chains. Ilia Sotnikov, vice president for user experience and security strategist at Netwrix, predicts hackers will increasingly leverage home networks as infrastructure as it is easier to infect such networks with malware than professionally secured enterprise IT environments. The increased processing power and bandwidth connectivity in residences will make home networks more attractive to malicious actors. Nicholas Brown, CEO of Hitachi ID Systems, predicts an increase in the adoption of the Zero Trust security model, which maintains strict access controls and does not trust anyone by default, including those already within the network perimeter. This article continues to discuss cybersecurity experts' predictions pertaining to cybercrime and cybersecurity strategies in the coming year.
