More zero knowledge attacks, more leaked credentials, more Gen-Z cyber crimes - 2022 trends and 2023 predictions.

As the internet of things continues to develop, cybercriminals will have access to a greater number of vulnerable devices, allowing them to carry out more sophisticated attacks.

Cybercrime is expected to become increasingly profitable as criminals continue to find new and better ways to monetize their attack as entry barriers to cybercrime keep going down.

This article discusses key trends we've noticed in 2022 that will likely continue in 2023, which we'll also elaborate on in the upcoming webinar "The Rise of the Rookie Hacker - a new trend to reckon with" on January 11th. Leaked credentials will continue to be the main attack vector for initial access#.

The rise of "Clearnet malware" - malware that can be purchased on everyday platforms like Telegram helps simplify setting up a cybercrime campaign or operation.

Join Ronen Ahdut, Head of Cyber Threat Intelligence at Cynet for a webinar "The Rise of the Rookie Hacker - a new trend to reckon with" on January 11th at 10AM ET / 15:00 GMT. The webinar will deep-dive into 2023 cybersecurity trends, threats, and technology, including the need for human oversight in cybersecurity and how to detect these new threats.
