Consumer beware: Threats to look out for in 2023; games Streaming ~
The consumer threat landscape constantly changes. Kaspersky presents a number of key ideas about what the consumer-oriented threat landscape will look like in 2023 and share a list of potential bait topics most likely to be exploited in the coming year.
“This year, we have seen spikes in cybercriminal activity aimed at users amid the shopping and back-to-school season, big pop culture events, such as the Grammy and Oscar Awards, movie premieres, new smartphone announcements, game releases, etc. The list can go on, as cybercriminals are quick to adapt to new social, political, economic, and cultural trends, coming up with new fraudulent schemes to benefit from the situation.”Users will face more gaming subscription fraud.
In-game virtual currencies will be in demand among cybercriminals. Most modern games have introduced monetisation: the sale of in-game items and boosters, as well as the use of in-game currencies. Games that include these features are cybercriminals’ primary targets as they process money directly. In-game items and money are some of the prime goals for attackers stealing players’ accounts. This summer for instance, cyberthieves stole $2-million worth of items from an account that they hacked.
Streaming will remain cybercriminals’ bottomless source of income. Every year, streaming services produce more and more exclusive content that gets released on select platforms. A growing number of TV shows are becoming not just a source of entertainment, but a cultural phenomenon that influences fashion and trends in general.
