This Impact Report provides insights into consumers’ views on authentication. Consumers often don’t understand the mechanics of technologies very well, or even why they’re being used, but they have definite preferences about how and when they want to engage in authentication activities.

Recently, cybercriminals have managed to redirect web-based crypto-wallet DNS queries to a malicious mirror website. By doing so, they were able to steal $17m in Ethereum. The hackers pulled off a BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) hijacking attack on the website’s DNS service host, causing it to receive a false IP address and direct users to a phishing website. As a result, the users became victims of the attack, losing their stored wallet’s crypto-currency.

The 2018 edition of Webroot’s annual Threat Report shares a glimpse into their discoveries and analysis of threat activity throughout 2017, to equip you with the knowledge you need to overcome modern cybercrime.

The Webroot Threat Research Team has analyzed the data from our customer base during the first half of 2018. This mid-year threat report not only shows the stats, but also tells the story behind the headlines. The bottom line from our observations: it has never been more important to implement a robust, effective, multi-layered and continuously evolving security approach to keep valuable data and systems secure.

From the report, “Widespread data breaches, the EMV migration, and efforts to extend the longevity of the SSN, have created an ideal environment in which synthetic identity fraud is flourishing. Furthermore, consumers’ physical and digital footprints are becoming more complicated, meandering across locations, devices, and geographies. This makes it more difficult than ever to differentiate legitimate user behavior from fraudsters. Businesses need to prevent synthetic identities from entering their ecosystems by understanding anomalies to individual user behavior and helping to correlate the seemingly disconnected events and security incidents in real time. Combining historical and real-time data and leveraging machine learning to analyze individual behavior across channels can reveal complex patterns to help detect and block synthetic identities without causing friction for real customers.”
