Four and a Half of Our 2019 Cybersecurity Predictions Have Came True – So Far
Summary
WatchGuard CTO Corey Nachreiner wrote a two-part guest article series for Forbes grading the Threat Labs’ 2019 predictions. Next, the Threat Lab predicted that a major WPA3 hack would exposing the lack of security built into wireless networking standards in 2019. Just weeks after our prediction, Trend Micro released details about a fileless remote access Trojan that met our criteria. While (taking the internet hostage) hasn’t happened yet, we have seen some incidents that do illustrate the issues with BGP, and they prove it’s possible for attackers to exploit it to hijack global traffic. So, while there was no massive internet hostage crisis in 2019 (so far), WatchGuard researchers found enough BGP issues that fell somewhere between accidental and malicious that Corey gave the team half credit.
