F-Secure's new cyber security report paints a stark picture of the threats posed by insecure networks and devices, the internet of things, cyber-crime and others.

The Mirai botnet continued as one of the largest threats in the fourth quarter, a new study from Akamai found.

Adversaries are changing their tactics from compromising and stealing data from vulnerable home devices to weaponizing them, warned Christopher Young, SVP and general manager at Intel Security, at the 2017 RSA Conference.

The attacks that took place and malware spotted during last several months of 2016 were a harbinger of things to come in 2017, with more IoT attacks, Mac products being targeted and more Android malware.

The Mirai attacks marked a shift in perception of Internet of Things (IoT) device threats for 84 percent of the 868 IT professionals surveyed.

A coalition of tech has formed to secure the connected cars of the future.

The release of the Mirai botnet source code late last summer set the stage for the series of massive DDoS attacks that took place during the closing months of 2016, a new report said.
