"The bad guys are going after more targeted-type activity," he said, referring to this new trend in the IT industry.
He said this more targeted approach not only applies to enterprises but also to individuals.
"We all really now need to be very aware of that and ever more sensitive to people coming after us," the expert went onto say.
