The Three Cyber Attacks Ruining Your Holiday Spirit
Info Security
The retail industry isn’t the only one that needs to worry about cyber attacks. In fact, all organizations are warned against increased threats due to careless employee behaviors during the holiday season.
In a recent survey, half of the participants admitted to using a work-issued computer or mobile device for online shopping. A breach could result from an employee innocently clicking on a link in a phishing email promising a holiday discount.
Credential stuffing attack
During a credential stuffing attack, attackers use bots to attempt to log into target sites or corporate networks using stolen credentials. This research, commissioned by Akamai and carried out by Ponemon Institute, found that companies experience an average of 11 credential stuffing attempts each month, with each attack targeting 1041 user accounts.
