“A far-reaching, catastrophic cyber event is likely in the next two years” according to 93% of cybersecurity experts and 86% of business leaders polled by the World Economic Forum (WEF).
Geopolitical instability and the enduring shortage of cybersecurity skills are making the situation more precarious and causing firms to rethink their presence in certain regions, revealed the WEF’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2023 report, which canvassed the views of 300 experts and C-suite executives.
In the meantime, we’re still seeing plenty of very, very bad cyber-attacks and breaches. Most recently, there’s been another mega breach at T-Mobile (37 million customers affected this time), the theft of source code and ensuing $10 million ransom demand from video games developer Riot Games, and the inadvertent exposure by an airline of the US government’s No Fly List, a roll call of suspected terrorists, from 2019.
The LastPass situation is also continuing to evolve following the November breach of its password vaults in November, with the latest update from the beleaguered password manager admitting that “a threat actor exfiltrated encrypted backups from a third-party cloud storage service”.
