Cyber crime skyrockets alongside remote working
COVID-19 restrictions across the globe have meant a skyrocketing rate of people working from home, and, according to cyber security company InPhySec, cyber crime and ransomware attacks have also grown in tandem at an alarming rate.
InPhySec's data showed a 148% increase in remote workers, accompanied by a 161% increase in traffic to high-risk apps. It says that 63% of malware is now also delivered through cloud-based services, rather than through the web.
