techspective – 2019 is underway. Two weeks down, fifty to go. Technology continues to evolve rapidly and the threat landscape is constantly shifting. It’s challenging for organizations to try and stay a step ahead of cybercriminals and break out of the cycle of just reacting to the exploit du jour. Cybersecurity experts from IOActive are here to help, though, with insight on what to expect in the year ahead.

Dark Reading – In-flight airplanes, social engineers, and robotic vacuums were among the targets of resourceful white-hat hackers this year. It was a year where malicious hackers waged shockingly bold – and, in some cases, previously unimaginable – false flag attacks, crypto-jacking, social engineering, and destructive malware campaigns.

From the potential weaponization of AI to an exploding IoT universe traversed with threats. Cybercriminals are constantly evolving their tactics as the landscape of digital technology expands.

Avionics Magazine – In December 2017, IOACTIVE cybersecurity researcher Ruben Santamarta demonstrated his ability to establish a shell presence on a real in-flight airborne commercial airplane internet modem. The general public, though, would not learn about the demonstration until mid-2018, when Santamarta released a preview of a 70-page report detailing how the flaws exposed in that modem also allowed him to spy on cargo ships and hidden military bases.
