A Look at Emerging Cyber Threats in 2022
2021 saw the emergence of various cybersecurity and privacy threats that required attention, ranging from account takeovers and browsers dealing with malware, to an increase in C-suite unemployment fraud.
To begin 2022, BlackCloak Founder and CEO Dr. Christopher Pierson dives into five emerging privacy and cybersecurity threats targeting executives and high-profile individuals and how BlackCloak helps mitigate these risks.
Data Privacy Day
BlackCloak will be honoring Data Privacy Day January 28th, and while it is only one day, BlackCloak is committed to protecting your privacy year round. BlackCloak only collects a minimal amount of information to perform the services to Protect Your Digital Life,TM which includes monitoring the dark web for compromised information and limiting the amount of data shared from your devices and on data broker websites.
If you have any privacy concerns, schedule an appointment with the BlackCloak Concierge team today.
In the News:
Staying on the topic of privacy, Verizon recently rolled out a new feature that gives the company the ability to track iPhone users. Verizon turned this functionality on by default. Here is our helpful guide to help you opt out of Verizon's tracking and limit the data you are sharing.
Right before the new year, news broke that LastPass user's master passwords may have been compromised. BlackCloak has been monitoring this, and to date,no passwords were compromised after unauthorized login attempts were reported. LastPass added some notifications of unauthorized login attempts may have been sent to users in error. If you're a LastPass user, out of an abundance of caution, we recommend that you change your master password.
