8 cybercrime trends that will shape IT

From Help Net Security:

8 cybercrime trends that will shape IT

These predictions come from Websense a company whose predictions tend to be accurate.  Here's an overview:

1. The healthcare sector will see an increase in data stealing attack campaigns (I blogged about this yesterday)

2. Attacks on the Internet of Things (IoT) will focus on businesses, not consumer products.

3. Credit card thieves will morph into information dealers.

4. Mobile threats will target credential information more than the data on the device.

5. New vulnerabilities will emerge from decades-old source code.

6. Email threats will take on a new level of sophistication and evasiveness.

7. As companies increase access to cloud and social media tools, command and control instructions will increasingly be hosted on legitimate sites.

8. There will be new (or newly revealed) players on the global cyber espionage/cyber war battlefield.
