Cyber attacks ‘to accelerate in new year’

There will be a major cyber security breach every month next year with banks and mobile devices being subject to attacks, according to cloud security firm, Trend Micro.

The Cork-based company’s annual report: ‘Blurring Boundaries: Trend Micro Security Predictions for 2014 and Beyond,’ forecasts mobile banking and targeted attacks will accelerate.

Vice president, European Operations Centre, Dervla Mannion, said these security breaches will have a bigger impact on people in 2014 than in previous years.
