Security Boulevard, December 9th, 2022
The end of the year is traditionally a time of reflection. In many industries - including cybersecurity and online privacy - it's also a time of prediction around the year to come.
This year, Avast has three major predictions for 2023: Ransomware will become an increasingly serious problem, scams will continue to be a favorite method for cyber criminals, and cybercrime as a business will become even more sophisticated.
Ransomware gets worse
Ransomware continued to be a profitable crime in 2022, as cybercriminals used phishing attacks and other social engineering techniques to gain access to the systems of both public and private organizations. From hospitals to big corporations to individuals, it seemed no one was safe.
