Threat Alert: Bharat Bhise HNA Discusses Common Cyber Threats


In the continued fight against malware and cyberattacks, Bharat Bhise HNA often gives a rundown of the most common threats to expect. Knowing the enemy is a significant part of cybersecurity warfare. It’s only by knowing what cyber threats approach the system can the computers and the users adequately prepare for it.
Here are some of the most common forms of cyber threats today:
1. Social Engineering Threats
This form of cyberattack targets the most vulnerable area: the users. This is where the term “phishing” falls under when users become misled to give up sensitive information. It could happen through adware, (“You’ve won a car! Click here!”) or even malicious emails (“We need to confirm your credit card details. Please confirm them here.”). These methods trick the unwary and give access to accounts and sites.
2. Malware
In Bharat Bhise HNA’s experience, malware is the most common and rampant form of cyber threat online. It’s a term used to describe malicious software which could mean:
•         Spyware

•         Ransomware

•         Viruses

•         Worms

This software aims to take advantage of vulnerabilities in a network, code, or system, and infiltrate it. Once the malware has gained access, it can block the access of others, take or delete information, or even disable a device altogether.
3. Man in the Middle Attack
A MITM attack is one that targets low-encryption forms of connection and “listens in” during the transference of data. This term describes how some hackers will put themselves between a user and a wifi connection, intercepting the user’s data as it transmits through the network.
4. Denial of Service Attack
According to Bharat Bhise HNA, a denial of service attack is now a popular choice for malicious individuals or groups. The attack is carried out by way of flooding a single page or a network with requests for information. This method could be millions of pings per second. The server, unable to withstand, eventually crashes, disabled.
There are still many more forms of cyber threats, and for Bharat Bhise HNA, users must take steps to counteract them. Protecting networks and systems won’t be easy when the essential tools of the hack can be available almost anywhere, but with vigilance, it’s possible.

Bharat Bhise HNA Talks about Airport Cybersecurity: 97% Failure

Bharat Bhise HNA joins the rest of the world in reveling in the shocking news: 97% of the world’s airports soundly failed a cybersecurity test from ImmuniWeb. In the 2020 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos-Klosters, the WEF had expressed concern in the cybersecurity found in the world’s airports. After all, millions of travelers pass through these airports every year, traveling across the globe. Their most sensitive personal information and data get processed through the airports—for immigration purposes, visas, and more. Their addresses, social security numbers, personal information, and other vital information are all referred back to in these airports. So it goes without saying that it’s merely a reasonable expectation for airports to have foolproof security. Sadly, from what Bharat Bhise HNA understands from the results of the study, that is not the case. The Gaping Holes In a sweep of the 100 most prominent international airports in the world, ImmuniW...

Bharat Bhise HNA on Mobile Cybersecurity Tips

Bharat Bhise HNA finds that many people don’t realize how vulnerable their mobile phones are to malicious attacks. Often, people only rely on built-in security functions within their mobile phone’s operating systems. Regardless of whether it’s iOS or Android, there are still risks and vulnerabilities in the operating system. And there are even more ways that a user may unintentionally put their mobile at risk that the OS can’t do anything about. It always pays to remember that your phone holds a significant amount of personal data, along with access to all your accounts and photos. To ensure that data doesn’t fall into the wrong hands, Bharat Bhise HNA recommends the following: 1. Install an antivirus app Just as in a PC, a phone will also need its  specialized antivirus app . This is vital for people who do a lot of web browsing on their phone or rely on it a lot during travel. Malware could stand to glean a great deal of personal information out of your phone as you u...

Bharat Bhise HNA Observes Continuous Legislative Efforts on Cybersecurity

Bharat Bhise HNA and other experts are keen on renewed efforts, especially on the legislature, of beefing up the cybersecurity landscape on both federal agencies and private infrastructure. The latest bill to be filed exclusively dealing with cybersecurity is the Advancing Cybersecurity Diagnostics and Mitigation Act. Filed by Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif), the new bill hopes to strengthen the already-in-place digital protection programs under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The main project under the DHS is the Continuous Diagnostics Mitigation (CDM) program, the agency’s approach to cybersecurity for federal agencies. Under the new bill, the DHS is directed to codify the CDM project, and also gives policy development powers under the DHS Secretary. According to Bharat Bhise HNA, one unique feature of the new bill is its all-encompassing setup. If the bill becomes law, the DHS is mandated to make cybersecurity programs and policies avai...
