As the world comes to grips with the coronavirus pandemic, the situation has proven to be a blessing in disguise for threat actors, who’ve taken advantage of the opportunity to target victims with scams or malware campaigns.
Imagine the following situation. You work as a security manager for a company that owns the website www.example.com. One day, your sales department receives an email from an unknown individual. The sales department forwards it to you. The email has the following content:
It’s the dawn of a new decade. As we look to a year of promise and excitement, its probably a good idea to pay a bit more attention to cybersecurity. Most of our modern activities revolve around technology. It makes sense to take security a bit more seriously. So, here’s a list of things you could look to implementing to upgrade your security experience in 2020.
Streaming services isn’t anything new. They’ve been around for quite some time. But over the past couple of years, the industry has seen some increasing competition. This has been largely due to the global corporations entering the market. Companies like Disney, Amazon, and even Apple want a big chunk of the market share. On the plus side, the increasing competition means that there will be more options and better-quality content. But this competition also means that these services may now offer a higher security risk as well.
Data breaches aren’t new. There’s a target painted on almost every system today. Particularly if that system contains valuable data in the millions. After all, data is the new oil. Among the many high-profile hacks that have happened over the last decade, here are some of the notable ones.

In general, this refers to the protection of enterprise-level digital devices and networks, hardware and software, from malicious attacks. But in a practical sense cybersecurity refers to the same concept on a personal level as well. A compromised company server relates to the same concept of cybersecurity as someone hacking into a home computer.
