“Newsjacking” is increasingly empowering phishing attacks, says Angel Grant, RSA’s director of identity fraud and risk intelligence. Canada, the U.S., India and Brazil are top countries targeted by phishing, she says. Grant anticipates a rise in phishing that involves phony messages about the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation now that enforcement has begun. Mobile App Fraud also shows a three-year trend toward increased mobile app fraud, says Grant. “We’re seeing that cybercriminals are moving away from desktops and moving into mobile apps and social networks,” she adds.”]
