In 2019, hackers will begin attacking cloud storages, bank information systems and the Internet of Things, according to a research by InfoWatch.
Hackers will also target mobile communications and e-commerce. Other areas at risk include automated systems controlling technological processes, and biometric data. Moreover, cybercriminals will attack the industrial internet. InfoWatch experts claim that hacking into cloud storage will give hackers access to data of dozens and even hundreds of companies, RBC reports.
Attacks on the financial area will traditionally pose a great risk. Hackers will be trying to steal large amounts of money.
By breaking into the Internet of Things, hackers will get access to various devices and detectors. This will allow cybercriminals to spy on people and block their devices.
InfoWatch experts believe that hackers may begin attacking large facilities such as power plants. The main reason why hacking is becoming more prolific is because security systems develop much more slowly that digital services.
