"Threat Predictions for 2023: From Hacktivism to Cyberwar"

Trellix forecasts an increase in geopolitically motivated attacks across Asia and Europe in 2023, as well as hacktivism spurred by tensions between competing political parties and vulnerabilities in core software supply chains. In cybersecurity, analyzing current patterns is critical, but foresight is essential. Trellix's Head of Threat Intelligence, John Fokker, suggested that enterprises should look beyond in order to maintain a proactive stance. Misinformation campaigns and cyberattacks coordinated with kinetic military activity will continue to be highly motivated by geopolitical concerns. As loosely organized individuals fueled by misinformation unite around a common cause, they will increase their use of cyber technologies to express their fury and inflict global disruption. Both threat actors and security researchers will intensify their examination of underlying software frameworks and libraries, leading to an increase in software supply chain-related breaches. Teens and young adults will increasingly engage in cybercrime, ranging from large-scale attacks on businesses and governments to low-level crimes against family, friends, peers, and strangers. In 2023, the incidence of satellite and other space asset compromises will increase and become more public. Reverse-vishing or voice phishing attacks will increase dramatically, with less tech-savvy people as the primary target. This article continues to discuss Trellix's 2023 cyber threat predictions.
