Hacks and security breaches of password-protected information is the most commong attack now a days.
Phishing certainly can lead to identity theft, but you don't necessarily have to click on a suspicious link in order to have any of your personal accounts hacked or taken over by someone else.
Huge websites like LinkedIn, PayPal, Snapchat, Dropbox and many others suffer security breaches all the time. Often leading to thousands of user's personal information being stolen.
Another more recent trend involves hackers or "social engineers" making it their business to reverse engineer user's email passwords, with the intention of taking over influential social accounts that have lots of followers, so they can sell them on the black market for profit. |
