New year likely to see businesses, cloud infrastructure come under sophisticated cyber attacks

Having duped individual users, cyber criminals might well target businesses and cloud infrastructure to tap bigger troves of data. They could also tap deep fake content by creating fake news and videos, creating confusion among investors and damaging the reputation of corporates and organisations.

Hackers could also try to exploit the end of technical support for Windows 7.

Armed with Artificial Intelligence solutions, cyber criminals, State-actors included, are likely to deploy sophisticated methods to launch cyber attacks.

The New Year could be a tougher one, with cyber attacks getting more sophisticated, cyber security experts warn.

Seqrite, an arm of cyber security solutions firm, QuickHeal, has predicted that ransomware attacks would evolve into sophisticated attacks in 2020.
