Hackers can’t simply take the time to get back to work.
They’ve been hacked before, but never in such large numbers.
What’s changed?
Hackers are taking advantage of their new-found freedoms to take over systems and spread malicious code to anyone with the proper credentials.
What happens next?
Hacker attacks on critical infrastructure, which have already begun in the United States and around the world, could be more severe and dangerous, and the perpetrators could be far more sophisticated.
Hackers also have access to a new arsenal of malware that is harder to detect.
How are companies protecting themselves?
Many companies, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and others, have implemented new security measures.
Many more, however, are working to ensure their systems are secure and protect their customers.
What are the most common threats?
Hacktivists are often looking to use exploits to steal personal data and exploit security holes in existing systems.
But many companies are also vulnerable to the same types of attacks that can compromise them.
What can you do to protect yourself?
Hack a website or an online service and scan for the presence of malware.
You might also consider setting up an antivirus service that checks for any known exploits or other threats.
Some companies have developed products that scan and block malicious links.
And some companies offer more targeted protections, such as disabling the computers and devices that connect to the internet.
How can I protect my company’s network?
Some organizations, such the federal government, are using tools to block hackers from infiltrating their networks.
Some small businesses are also using software to limit access to their network and prevent intrusions.
What is your top threat?
Hack, rob or steal the data of others.
Hack an organization and take their financial information.
Steal the passwords of employees and employees of their parent company.
Hack or steal personal information of a business partner.
Hack another company’s business to gain access to information it holds on to.
What do I do if someone attacks my network?
Use a firewall, a network-management software or even a VPN to protect your network from the attack.
Do not share your personal data with strangers or people you do not know.
Use a VPN when possible to protect the privacy of your online activities.
