Norton has given some cybersecurity forecasts for the next year. Among them, the rise in cryptocurrency scams is top notch. Many countries are also planning to regulate the cryptocurrency segment. The arrival of new investors with little knowledge of the crypto market can make it easier for scammers to commit fraud. Norton said, “Scammers can easily deceive people with little understanding of the crypto market. The number of scams is also expected to increase with the arrival of new investors. Most methods of scamming may be outdated but we have to know about scammers. New methods are also expected to be used.”
The need to be online during a pandemic and keeping all identity documents online can lead to identity theft and other scams. Norton says that cybercriminals may use phishing campaigns to steal login details or may be fraudulent under the guise of providing tech support.
Norton said that hacker activists or hacktivists would use their information to make political attacks. They can harass governments, create an atmosphere of fear or disclose confidential information. There have been some such attacks this year as well. Scammers will continue to target people affected by disasters over the next year. Scammers may try to siphon off the money received from insurance companies or the government to these victims. Norton believes that artificial intelligence and machine learning will increase cybercrime. This could provide new tools for criminals and scammers to commit fraud.<!–
