Qrator Labs, which specializes in countering DDoS attacks and ensuring the availability of Internet resources, published a study that describes the main trends and problems in the field of accessibility and security of web resources.
 
According to experts, the 2017 became the year of networks and routing.
 
"The main difference between 2016 and 2017 is that the attackers switched their attention from hacking certain devices to attacks on clouds and Iot platforms," ​​says Alexander Lyamin, CEO and founder of Qrator Labs. "The Internet of Things" provides attackers with access to thousands of fully functional devices at the same time, often such penetrations remain unnoticed. Economic efficiency is the reason why we expect an increase in the frequency of such attacks on entire clouds and platforms in 2018 ".
 
Qrator Labs noted a large number of hacking and reported that 2017 demonstrated how diverse the types of equipment can be vulnerable to different types of cyber-attacks. In the future, even more incidents are expected associated with obsolete software and hardware, dailycomm.ru reports.
