Based on the incidents we saw in 2016, I recommend that organizations enter 2017 with caution. From the growth of Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks to cybercriminals using more effective ways to exploit Internet of Things (IoT) devices, these security issues should serve as a reminder for businesses and individuals to be more vigilant. One of the most pressing matters that a lot of organizations need to pay attention to, however, is the forthcoming General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The new set of rules is designed to harmonize data protection across all EU member states and bring in a number of key components that will directly impact businesses—even businesses outside Europe.

Offhand, companies and enterprises being affected by attacks like DDoS against the online gaming industry may be far-fetched. But the gaming industry, being a billion-dollar business with a continuously growing competitive community, is naturally bound to garner attention from cybercriminals. A recent wire fraud case, for instance, allowed a group of hackers to mine $16 million worth of coins in the hugely popular FIFA series and sell them to buyers in Europe and China. And in our research, we found that the sale of such gaming currencies sends ripples of impact to fund cybercrime operations often targeting entities however unrelated to online gaming.

Earlier this week, it was reported that the 2012 breach of LinkedIn was far worse than originally thought: instead of the 6.5 million stolen records that were reported at the time, it turned out that 167 million users were affected. 117 million of these records contained the user’s email address and password.

It wasn’t until this bigger breach was sold in dark web communities that everyone became aware of this bigger problem. LinkedIn issued a blog post that confirmed the leaked data was authentic and asked affected users to reset their passwords.

The Internet has no borders, countries do. And that’s what makes it so difficult for law enforcement to chase cybercriminals. Trend Micro works with these bodies for years and we see how painful and long these processes are, once the cybercriminal is somewhere else. We not only work close with local police but also with Europol and INTERPOL, which helps when it comes to international crime. They do a great job, but the bad guys clearly have an advantage as their flexibility and speed makes it easy for them to jump around in cyberspace and build up systems everywhere. And pretty often, they go to countries where cybercrime is not a crime or chasing them is low priority.

But now we can ask, will 2016 be a better year for cyber security? What are we – both end users and the security industry – going to do to make 2016 a better year?
