Hackers know just how to adapt, evolve and harness any new technology that is out in the world said Keren Elazari, an internationally recognized cyber security analyst, author and researcher with more than 20 years of experience in the cybersecurity field.
Known as “the friendly hacker,” Elazari said she has devoted her life to exposing and fixing security vulnerabilities and problems.
Elazari explained that while most of us are used to attacks through methods such as email phishing by now, hackers continue to evolve, and credit unions (Saccos) must be prepared.
“The most sophisticated attacks will target remote access tools like VPNs and network routers, taking advantage of tools like remote desktop protocols and remote connection passwords we’ve all come to rely on in recent years,” said Elazari at the 2022 World Credit Union Conference.
