2014’s forecast by Kaspersky released for all

Kaspersky, the leading security company for computers and mobile devices, recently released a report containing the forecast for the year 2014. It indicates about the announcements that most renowned internet service companies have already made. It’s about additional measures that can help in protecting user data alongside implementation of more advanced protection measures that appears to be a key factor when choosing a web service now.

Forecast indicates targeting of cloud service employees by hackers, which seems to be the weakest link in the security chain. A successful attack can mean huge data volumes getting into wrong hands. Also, hackers in addition to data theft will indulge in deleting and modifying data. The manipulated info could be very valuable to those who are data theft attackers. This appears to be a continued trend this year as well.

Next in line are software developers, who as per Kaspersky’s forecast must get secured against theft of popular product sources. This can give cybercriminals great opportunity to find loopholes in products and use them for their benefit. Also, access to the repositories of developers can give such attackers the easy door to make modification in the program source code and can help them in embedding backdoors into the same.

Seeing the new threats expected to add in cyberspace, organizations will now pay groups of qualified hackers who can present custom-made cyber-surveillance services and act as cyber-mercenaries for them.

Another threat for 2014 is the attack on privacy and money of end users. Even after the backup of intelligence agencies, people are determined to keep their private information under cover. To accomplish this, users need to protect info stored on their computers and devices and ensure confidential online behavior. This is directly going to add to the popularity of Toranonymizers and VPN services and to the demand for local encryption tools as well. The forecast by Kaspersky for 2014 linked with security entails all this broadly.
