Aamir Lakhani, cybersecurity researcher for Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs, discusses criminals flocking to web server and browser attacks, and what to do about it.
Smart cybercriminals are going after web servers and browsers, more so than after individuals. Unfortunately, these types of attacks often go ignored, as they’re harder to test for (in terms of pen-testing).
With much of the world now working remotely, this threat has intensified. Attackers use email, instant messages, SMS messages and links on social networking to trick at-home workers into installing malware that leads to identity theft, loss of property and, possibly, entry into the corporate network. Phishing attacks may lead users to fake sites or landing pages, with the same intent.
