Criminals can steal valuable personal data from their victims’ mobile devices.

Smartphone use is increasing, and mobile devices are an attractive target for criminals. Android, Apple and iOS devices have all been targeted for cyber attacks, especially those apps that get downloaded and share information across multiple devices on the cloud or on shared websites.

The number of recent data breaches on social media websites puts you at greater risk of identity theft.

Criminals can target individuals through social networks or e-commerce sites. Many social sites now allow a sign-up from existing social media sites that share all personal information.

Hackers take advantage of any and all website vulnerabilities.

Increasingly, hackers attack websites to get access to customer/user confidential information. Even with regular security updates to sites, hackers are already ahead of the curve.

Email continues to be a key area for targeting large numbers of people.

Email attacks involve phishing links sent to email accounts to request confidential information or to direct people to malicious websites. If accounts are hacked and a link gets sent to all contacts, this targets many people at once. Spammers are getting more sophisticated at finding a way through protective firewalls.
