Netflix and Spotify users are the most likely to be hacked
London, UK - August 01, 2018: The buttons of Netflix, Spotify, Podcasts, WhatsApp and Music on the screen of an iPhone.As any cybersecurity aficionado knows, it’s no longer a matter of if you are attacked, but when. Now, a survey has demonstrated that you are also more likely to be hacked if you are using certain services—namely, Netflix, EA, Xbox, Sony Entertainment and Spotify.
The survey was carried out by cybersecurity company Dynarisk, which used data obtained from the dark web and hacker communities. The firm outlines how this data is shared among criminal communities as they seek ways to abuse or monetize the stolen records. This data is often combined with other information in an attempt to form a picture of individuals for identity theft.So, which are the most attacked sites? The results aren’t surprising, given that these brands also have a large number of users. Some of the companies named collect large amounts of data or have suffered know data breaches in the past .
“Unfortunately, the ugly truth is that the more prolific a brand, the more attractive it is to cyber criminals,” DynaRisk said in a press release. “Hackers will target bigger brands to not only steal valuable information, but also to demonstrate their skills to peers within the criminal community. “There are also monetary benefits; Netflix and Spotify are the perfect target for criminals who can resell stolen credentials to willing customers who want an account a fraction of the retail cost.”
