Consumers are spending countless hours on their phones, tablets, and computers. With more time spent online comes an increased risk for consumers, who are often unaware of the commonality and complexity of cybersecurity threats that exist on the internet. With the release of their latest Trends Report, ReasonLabs shines a light on not only the top security risks today but also educates consumers on how to best protect themselves moving forward.
ReasonLabs' report found that malware - software specifically designed to disrupt or damage devices - was the top online threats affecting consumers from May to July 2023, accounting for 58% of all detections. This is consistent with trends from previous years, where malware also ranked as the top threat to consumers. Other prevalent threats included:
-- Phishing (24.7%), an attack that tricks consumers into revealing
sensitive information such as passwords and credit card
-- Adware (8.1%), a form of malware that can deliver unwanted
advertisements onto a device, hijack a computer's settings, or display
potentially dangerous ads.
-- Pirated software (3.8%), which often contains malware that hackers embed
into websites and contain free content such as movies and TV shows.
-- Cryptojacking (3.6%), a form of cyber attack in which a hacker uses
someone else's computer or device to mine cryptocurrencies without their
knowledge or consent.
-- In the United States specifically, ReasonLabs found that malware (45.3%)
and phishing (43.6%) were almost equally popular attack vectors for
cybercriminals today.
"As consumers continue to spend more time connected to the internet, it is vital that they are aware of the wide array of cybersecurity threats that exist today," said Kobi Kalif, CEO and co-founder of ReasonLabs. "With a holistic suite of cybersecurity tools, such as VPNs and antivirus software, combined with greater diligence from consumers themselves, each and every person can feel much more confident about keeping their data private. We hope that our recent findings serve as a reminder to consumers that they should arm themselves with strong cybersecurity solutions in order to protect themselves and their families."
