cyber-attack

In our previous articles we have discussed some of the most burning internet security threats, and as of now, we thought it would be useful to make a summary of what we are aware of on the topic. 2017 was a year of several threats in the cyber world. WannaCry, Petya/NotPetya were just two examples of it, which we were discussing earlier. As we saw, the threats that occur nowadays have become more diverse, and hackers are working hard on discovering new ways to exploit the existing online security systems.

2017 was not a lucky year for cybersecurity. To be precise, it was one of the worst years, according to countless critical reviews. Most of the attacks were able to happen because companies do not pay enough attention to their cyber hygiene. There is a tendency of poorly protected servers and admin accounts, and this makes the job really easy for hackers. The cyberattacks highlighted the alarming vulnerability of our personal information, but which were these attacks? Today we summarised the most burning ones from the most recent period.
