The remote work trends have been accelerated by six to 10 years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This way of working has stretched the current connectivity infrastructure, so hackers and fraudsters have found new ways to exploit security vulnerabilities. Every home or public connection which may not have been secured as needed for its current use is a potential target.
